Baxter,
(Stuart)
Biography:
(born 1947) Studied
at Philadelphia College of Art (64-68), Massachusetts College of Art
(78-80) and at Boston University (80-82). Baxter first began
working with broken ceramic tiles. His mosaic studio began operation in
1991 and he has completed an extensive body of work since then. Baxter
is a classicist working with the traditional and low-tech mediums of
oil-painting and ceramic-mosaic. And his ongoing pursuit has been an
exploration of how simple characteristics in painting and mosaic such
as texture and fragmentation can combine to become arresting images.
Baxter believes that making an artwork is similar to a controlled
laboratory experiment with observed protocols determining the result of
the process. To this, a level of technical difficulty is established at
the beginning that affects the degree of visual interest in the end.
Historical influences on Baxters development as an artist are diverse
including Vermeer and Watteau and Monet; and closer to home
extending to Yves Klein, Marcel Broodthaers and Jasper Johns.
