“Once I get a promising piece back to my studio, I do not think of myself as an “artist” working on an “object” but rather I experience a dynamic partnership with the driftwood. At every step of the way—finding the ideal balance point, attaching the base to the surface, gently cleaning the wood and removing the pulp, applying organic milk paints to the surface and then using fine sandpaper to reveal the underlying structure, and finally burnishing the piece using natural waxes—I am working collaboratively with the wood. My mantra is, do what Nature tells you to do, and do nothing against Nature’s intent.” - Robert Oxnam

“Despite the heavy anthropological baggage, stylistic aspects of the art inevitably take center-stage and we experience a primer of sorts into varieties of abstraction over the past sixty-plus years, starting with Ting’s Abstract Expressionism.”

In a recent 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘭𝘺𝘯 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘭 article, William Corwin highlights twelve diasporic artists from the ongoing series, 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘈𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘴 𝘐𝘵? The exhibition, hosted by The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation and curated by Lilly Wei, comments on the artists’ collective contribution to the art history scene, all the while challenging viewers to question their own perception of the work.

Robert Oxnam (1942–2024) was a prominent American China scholar who led the Asia Society (1981–1992) as president. He transformed the group into a major institution for U.S.-Asia relations, drawing on a deep knowledge of Chinese art, culture, and history. During beach walks near his Southold home, Oxnam was captivated by wave-worn tree branches—roots that might have washed up from anywhere in the world. He recognized in them the kind of energy and nature-sculpted history that Chinese artists have sought in scholars’ rocks for well over 1,000 years.

From Flung-Ink, to macro photography, to acrylics on Chinese calligraphic paper, Oxnam’s work was a contemporary take on an ancient form. At the heart of his creations, we find an active interplay of Chinese philosophy and aesthetics with natural forms and found objects.

Please join us in celebrating Oxnam’s work tomorrow, June 10, from 6–8pm!
