Bruce Wood

Born in Boston and partly raised in the Summer art-colony of Cape Ann, Bruce Wood is a contemporary painter and film/video maker. He now resides in Lakeside, Michigan, a short distance from Chicago. Bruce Wood's avant-garde short films have been featured in solo presentations at many fine art venues, including the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and The Museum of Modern Art (Beaubourg) in Paris. His films are in the collections of The Carnegie Institute Museum of Art, The Royal Film Archive of Belgium, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2005, Wood turned his attention from avant-garde shorts and created his first dramatic feature film, The Door. Fenway Gallery in Chicago represents his contemporary impressionist paintings, which are in several corporate and museum collections. These include The University of Alabama's Kirklin Clinic and the Rockford Art Museum. Wood studied at Massachusetts College of Art (BFA), and was a student of Stan Brakhage at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (MFA). He is a member of the IFP and Chicago Filmmakers.
