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.
