Originally from South Africa, Stuart O’Sullivan relocated to New York City in 1993. Stuart’s first body of work, How Beautiful This Place Can Be resulted in an exhibition at DCFA in the Winter of 2005 and a book published by Nazraeli Press. The work was completed over the course of ten years and many visits to his homeland and family. Vince Aletti noted in the Village Voice that Stuart’s approach is “… as an insider with a new perspective on the family, friends, and landscapes he presents with measured but unapologetic affection”.

Stuart’s work has been exhibited at the Samuel Dorsky Museum, Foley Gallery and the International Center of Photography. His work has been reviewed by the New Yorker, the Village Voice, Art on Paper, BOMB, The Globalist and the New York Sun. Stuart’s images are in the collection of many private and corporate collections including the Deutsche Bank Collection.

Stuart is currently at work on another long-term project about the interconnectivity of family and communities living in different parts of the world. The first part of that project, about his wife’s relationship with her grandmother, will be on view at DCFA in the Spring of 2007.
