From Robert Youds's solo exhibition Say Nothing, Twice currently at Diaz Contemporary, Toronto:

Handmade Ultramarine Mantra

Robert Youds wrote, "Time is long.  Time is short.  Things begin.  Things recede.  Some things repeat, over and over again.  And as nearness becomes more difficult to perceive and everything once distant is brought closer through technologies – the self may be the only remaining site by which to measure ourselves."

Youds turns on your electric

I almost missed Robert Youds' latest show Turn On Your Electric at Diaz Contemporary.  It was its last day of showing when I went to see it last weekend.  Youds' works show his interest in colour and light.  I can see hints of futurism/vorticism and minimalism.
