Event Description
"Now is Not the Time"
Robert Youds discusses his work in relation to the Summer feature exhibition, Through the Looking Glass (closing September 7, 2014). Originally positioned as a painter, by the mid-nineties Youds shifted his practice of translating light and colour to what he describes as “light paintings.” His large three-dimensional works, while maintaining a playful edge, absorb the viewer into meditative ruminations. Aglow with colour, they are assemblages on a human scale that take an initial attraction and hold it until it becomes an extended philosophic moment.
Youds holds an MFA from York University and a BFA from the University of Victoria, where he is a Professor (Painting). Recent solo shows include: late-day light, 330g Gallery, Saskatoon, SK, handmade ultramarine mantra, Diaz Contemporary, Toronto, ON, and beautifulbeautiful artificial field, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
