| "Layers
of transparent shapes, over expanses of softened colors, interact
with opaque geometric forms dominating the canvas. The artist
builds shapes into a vague architecture, connecting geometric
forms with thin lines, like girders in an unfinished building."
[ArtNews Summer 2003]
"In my painting, I wish
to appeal to humankind’s positive potential to capture
the complexity of nature," writes Bronner. "This
appeal is reflected in the interplay of shape and color, responding
to the mystery that surrounds us, on the large scale in which
we move, and on the microscale that underlies all matter."
