Ross Stockwell

Ross Stockwell is an emerging artist based in Toronto, Ontario. He notices beauty, whimsy, and intrigue in unlikely places, capturing still moments borne of a mindful presence. His work is eclectic (landscape/urban, figure, and portraiture), unified by illuminating oddities and the play of patterns and geometric forms. His emerging projects emphasize narrative to connect, consolidate, and express subjective experience. He explores states of being, felt-sense moods, and emotions in an inanimate context. He merges classical references with a contemporary inquiry to immerse with universal questions and concerns about life, decay, and what falls between the two. 

Artist Statement

Certain places have an undeniable bearing. Such a place is Hutchison Road near Mallorytown, Ontario. In Hutchison Road, Stockwell presents six images as a visual poem. The work utilizes metaphor, opposites, and juxtaposition to show the underlying dynamics inherent in coexistent forces. Each image is an invitation to explore the detail of incongruent beauty. The image series embraces contradictory tensions while reassuring the inevitable harmony and balance in all things. Digital infrared images evoke an analogue aesthetic, pointing to the encroachment of modernization and human artifact on the natural world.
