______
Ron Shuebrook and Frances Thomas have each undertaken a serious engagement with abstraction. Both artists are highly skilled at manipulating paint to highlight wonderful connections between line, form, colour and scale. The intent of this exhibition is to highlight the avenues of abstraction unique to each artist, while finding commonalities and celebrating the differences.
This exhibition and accompanying publication were co-produced with the MacLaren Art Centre. It will tour to the MacLaren Art Centre in the summer of 2024 and then onwards to the Art Gallery of Northumberland and the Art Gallery of Algoma in 2025.
The Woodstock Art Gallery and MacLaren Art Centre extend their sincere thanks to the Olga Korper Gallery, the Peter Robertson Gallery, and all the private individuals who contributed to this important project.
