Biography

Bruce Cascia received his BFA from the University of Illinois at Champaign- Urbana. He paints in a photo-realistic style, oils mostly, and occasionally, acrylics. His images are of solitary diners, truckstops, and motorcycles all placed in dramatic vistas of the American Southwest. They call to mind the romance of vast open spaces and the freedom of the open road.

Eight of Bruce's bike paintings were included in the opening of the Field Museum's "Art of the Motorcycle" show in Chicago. Recently he was commissioned by Sotheby's to paint one of the featured bikes in their antique motorcycle auction.

Cascia's Work is included in a number of corporate art collections such as Oscar-Mayer, DDB Worldwide, and Bekka Corporation, as well as the private collections of Jay Leno, Dennis Hopper, and Peter Fonda.

In addition to the bikes and diner imagery, Bruce has a new series of "Dogs 'n Pick-Ups" paintings inspired by small town main street. He feels they possess a sense of humor and personality all their own.

Additional work can be viewed at the following galleries:
"The Timmel Collection", Saugatuck, Michigan,
and “Smith-Klein Gallery”, Boulder, Colorado.
