Bob Stuth-Wade will give an artist talk and demonstration for the Brownwood Art Association’s 2012-2013 opening meeting on Saturday, September 8, 1:30 P.M., location 215 Fisk Avenue, Brownwood, TX. The community is encouraged to come and meet the artist and watch his demonstration for free. It is a rare opportunity for all from a very gifted artist.
Having been an artist most of his life, Stuth-Wade has lived in Dublin, Texas for three decades. His work has evolved through a period of pure abstraction to almost hyper-realism and back to a state closer to representational expressionism. The majesty of Big Bend, The Texas Gulf Coast and the region near his home in Dublin find themselves displayed in his powerful work. The smell of wet grass, sleeping on the ground, watching the sky as it fills up with stars – these are just a few of the things that inspire the artist as he creates amazing images of nature.
In 2011 he served as a visiting professor at Baylor University, was honored with an exhibition of his watercolors and paintings at the San Angelo Museum of Art, as well as a retrospective exhibition of his works at the Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas. Another honor was receiving an Arts Fellowship with the Ballinglen Arts Foundation Ballycastle, North County Mayo, Republic of Ireland in 2006. The Valley House Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Dallas has represented Stuth-Wade since 1991.
