He emphasized the infinite variety of these sea-tossed shapes with sandpaper and milk paint, reshuffling place and time. He aimed to release what he called their “inner dynamism,” an approach he took from the Chinese concept of Qi. His photographs are close-up macro lens meditations on the glacial rocks at Rocky Point, and his paintings are modernized versions of Chinese splash ink paintings, but with added acrylic paints on Chinese rice paper. The exhibition is complemented with programming, including two panel discussions regarding Chinese art and dissociative brain disorders, respectively, as they relate to Oxnam’s work.“No matter the medium, no matter how various the results, what Robert Oxnam did with his art was to merge cultures and experiences into the creation of something that is both rooted and new,” notes Amei Wallach. Oxnam died at his Greenport home in April, 2024. Finding Qi honors his legacy.Join Amei, Vishakha, and members of our creative community for the Opening Reception held at the The Andy Tarshis Fine Art Gallery [133 E.
