Joseph McNamara

"Reflects on "The Persistence of Realism"

Thursday, March 26, 2009
1:00 - 3:00pm

Joseph McNamara is an American-born painter and photographer known for his penetrating depictions of narratives portraying human industry's engagement with the landscape and compositional diligence manifest in the balancing of structural abstraction and perspectival extension. His paintings, which are notable for their meticulous detail created during months of work in his studio, are characterized by their extensive scope as much as their rigorous attention to detail and are composed of a fused sequence of visual observations.

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
