About the Item

Eleanor Jones Harvey, Chief Curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, writes about Bob Stuth-Wade: “Over the course of his career, Bob Stuth-Wade has examined his responses to life through landscape, still life, portraiture, and abstraction. Restlessly creative, he has explored these varied genres with equal concentration…..” Bob Stuth-Wade’s method of painting is uniquely his own, having taught himself technique; his only formal training was as a teenager with Dallas artist Perry Nichols. His process often entails the creation of an initial ‘energy’ study in artist-made charcoal, several works on paper, and a large detailed painting of the same subject. Each step in the process enriches his understanding of his subject. Bob Stuth-Wade was invited to participate in the Artists’ Fellowship Programme, at The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ballycastle, North County Mayo, Republic of Ireland, in 2006. About this body of work, Bob Stuth-Wade writes: "We spend our first nine months comfortably submerged, following mother-rhythms, sleeping to the liquid sound of breathing and heartbeat. The sea of origin is forever in us. These paintings of Nassau, Western Ireland, and Texas are a remembrance of that and of a childhood spent roaming the Corpus Christi beaches, breathing fish-scented air, and taking it all for granted..." Since his first solo exhibition in 1971, at age 18, Bob Stuth-Wade has been a full-time artist. In addition to nine solo exhibitions at Valley House Gallery since 1991, his work has been exhibited at The Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas, and the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in San Angelo, Texas. His work is in numerous public and private collections.
