Message from Stuart Yankell
In October and November of 2008, I worked on location in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had the opportunity to paint live dancers in the Plaza Dorrego in the sunlight and to draw and photograph dozens of Milongas (Tango clubs) throughout the city by night. Having started over 50 original drawings and paintings as well as thousands of digital images, the trip has revealed a new understanding of the depth and richness of the Tango tradition. Many of the completed works can now be viewed on my site (click on the title) in the Buenos Aires Collection as well as the Available Works sections.

Wishing you a joyous 2009 with much health and success!

You are so lucky that you had the chance to see Argentina, and especially because you were doing something you loved, like painting. Plaza Dorrego seems like a nice, quiet place to do your job. I had buenos aires apartments near that square and I would go every afternoon to take a nap and listen to the lovely birds that talked to each other. Nobody bothers you there, in fact, there are many people doing the same thing!

meet the artist Liam Roberts

Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
