Plaque for UK artist

BRITISH resident Bruce Cameron has been honoured by the town council with a plaque on the wall outside his home in Oria.

The ‘Casa del escultor’ (House of Sculpture) plaque is an award for the artist who has lived in Oria since 2003. It was presented as a thank you for his ongoing contribution to the town.

Bruce has been exhibiting his rustic wood carvings and his mosaic wall art since 1975 in the UK, Canada and now Spain including an exhibition at the prestigious Casa Ibañez in Olula del Rio. Bruce’s art has also been displayed on the lawns surrounding Oria’s municipal pool in an outdoor exhibition organised by the Department of Culture.

His art is popular with people of all nationalities but it is his mosaic wall art which is gaining momentum at the present time, with styles that are sympathetic to the Spanish and Moorish blends popular in Southern Spain.
