Bruce Thomson was a versatile Scottish artist whose work spanned multiple mediums, including paintings, etchings, and sculptures. His art demonstrates a remarkable range, from abstract and surrealist paintings to nature-inspired sculptures and detailed figurative sketches.

Bruce’s paintings often feature bold, fluid lines and abstract forms, with a strong emphasis on colour and movement. Many pieces show influences of surrealism and modernism, with organic shapes and dreamlike compositions. His colour palette ranges from vibrant, contrasting hues to more subdued, monochromatic schemes.

His sculptural work is particularly noteworthy. Bruce drew inspiration from the natural growth patterns of trees, resulting in sculptures with a sense of organic flow and energy. These pieces, crafted in wood, showcase his ability to transform nature's forms into dynamic, abstract artworks that seem to capture motion in stillness.

His etchings and sketches reveal his skill in more traditional techniques, with subjects ranging from animals to human figures, often rendered with expressive, bold and flowing lines.

Bruce was also commissioned to design a series of ten illustrations for a limited edition 40-year-old Glenfarclas Whisky, based on the classic Scottish works Tam o' Shanter and The Jolly Beggars. This prestigious project further highlighted his ability to blend traditional themes with his distinctive artistic style.
