Robert Tharsing, A Retrospective curated by Lina Tharsing
Robert Tharsing (1943–2015) created hundreds of paintings and sculptures over his lifetime, not to mention thousands of other art objects, as small as jewelry and as large as a house in Nova Scotia. This retrospective is a survey of Tharsing’s art career, though the legacy of Tharsing’s work extends beyond the scope of his gallery exhibitions, private collections, and catalogs. A 300 page, color catalogue has been published in partnership with Institute 193 to commemorate this exhibition with generous underwriting support in honor of Ann Tower by an anonymous friend. “My father was a compulsive maker. His peers said they admired his dedication, but for him, it wasn’t work ethic as much as drive—he was driven to make, almost as though he was possessed by an energy outside of himself.” --from the foreword by Lina Tharsing |
