A close look at the little-known early works presented in Milton Avery: Industrial Revelations makes evident for the first time that Avery was an attentive observer of the immense technological changes that were taking place in the American economy and in society from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s. Although Avery did occasionally exhibit some of this output, scholars and critics have tended to overlook this thread in his work, in favor of themes of leisure, nature, and the figure that anticipate his later development. Since Avery’s industrial images remained little known, they are absent from major studies of America and the machine age, the term often used to characterize the period between the two world wars. —Gail Levin (2010)

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
