BRUCE LEE WEBB
Bruce Lee Webb was born August 7, 1966 in Waxahachie, Texas into the world of love and heavy religion stirred with an interest in the occult. He parents both from religious leader and teacher backgrounds where they taught the word and studied comparative religions. An only child in a world of faith with art through Sunday school decorations, old books, and folk art brought back from India Missionary years.
As a teenager he altered the power in art to photography and t-shirt drawings for 1980’s Dallas Punk Rock Shows. It was in this scene where he met his wife and partner in adventure, Julie. Together they moved to Waxahachie in 1984, opened a shop with their love of collecting, and soon had the opportunity to meet many Southern Folk Artists who rocked their world and molded their life into Webb Gallery.
Bruce Lee is a natural sponge of all things he holds dear, such as artist friends, adventure, discovery, handmade, fraternalism, occult, and spiritualism. He never fit with standard learning and always went further with his own collecting and research.
His artwork is a journal of what is moving in his brain and currently researching. He prefers the character of old canvas, antique seed bags, or ledger paper with simple ink to pour out his thoughts and vivid mind’s eye.
“I use my art as a memory vessel for myself and to expose others in a random way to things I am interested in and fascinated by. I am interested in the random factor in art like the road driven down for the first time. I was told by a spirit medium in Lily Dale, New York that my art has the power to heal. I hope it heals others, as I know it has healed myself.”
– Bruce Lee
