Two exhibitions of abstract painting. A group show of three artists - Brad Fesmire, Lauren Portada and Josh Willis - are inspired by landscape. In the solo exhibition, Elizabeth Goldman's abstract artworks are a hybrid of drawing and painting.


SQUARED OFF: WORKS ON PAPER BY ELIZABETH GOLDMAN is a solo exhibition of abstract artworks that are a hybrid of painting and drawing. It is also the first exhibit to take place in the Art Center's renovated gallery. Paintings/drawings of geometric shapes and lines, composed of layers of charcoal, graphite, acrylic and oil, allude to the gestural surface marks and materials of Abstract Expressionism and the analytical strategies of Minimalism and Process Art. By working in layers, Ms. Goldman allows the work to evolve, creating an almost invisible history with marks and materials. The tension on the canvas comes not from what is seen but what is not seen.

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
