At what point to make the first mark? One line placed on the canvas committed her to innumerable risks, to frequent and irrevocable decisions. All that... in idea seemed simple became in practice immediately complex...still the risk must be run, the mark made... ”2 Virginia Wool f In the provocative passage above, from Virginia Woolf’s poignant novel To the Lighthouse , we are reminded of the considerable differences between “thinking” (or theorizing, however rigourous) about art, and the essential and complex challenges of actually “making” art.

  • Stu Oxley Distant Grounds Stu Oxley Distant Grounds
    Stu Oxley Distant Grounds Stu Oxley Distant Grounds Essays by John Kissick and Ron Shuebrook Interview with the artist by curator Emily McKibbon MacLaren Art Centre, Barrie, Ontario, July 9 – October 25, 2015 Art Gallery of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, January 21 – March 27, 2016 Woodstock Art Gallery, Woodstock, Ontario, October 14, 2017 – January 27, 2018 Foreword Entering the exhibition space that houses Stu Oxley’s Distant Grounds, we are enveloped in the immersive visual feld of his newly conceived abstract paintings. Square canvases, their format unhinges ready associations with either landscape or fgure; however, expansive washes of luminous colour lend an atmospheric quality to these works, coupled with gestural articulations that register as simultaneously deliberate and random, studied yet improvisational. Through our engagement with these provocative works, Oxley invites us into a space of beauty, of depth, of quiet contemplation––a realm beyond the contingent, resonant with possibilities. We draw inspiration for our exhibitions from the accomplishments of artists working in our regions and by the experiences that infuence their lives. Stu Oxley is widely known as a master printer. Based in Elora, Ontario, he teaches drawing and printmaking at Georgian College in Barrie. Two simultaneous exhibitions pay tribute to Oxley’s accomplishments. His solo exhibition, Distant Grounds, features recent large-scale paintings by the artist while Artists at Riverside Studio highlights his print collaborations with nineteen artists between 1980
