What does it take to be truly yourself? In an increasingly material society which we live in, our appearance and the things we use are easily picked up and abandoned; old streets, lost places and familiar faces quickly fade into memory; even the markings of our own actions are swept away in the inexorable advance of Modernity. In such times, what constitutes of the architecture of I? Four artists embark on a journey through inner space, the vast cavern that lies within ourselves, in hopes of understanding what does it mean to be I: Kanako Furukawa examines the ever-changing surface of our being: how the nuances of our skin and dressing can often mis-represent who we are.
Calvin Pang delves into the forgotten relationship between ourselves and the things we abandon- which often retains the negative of its previous owner's identity. Tiffany Tay explores the murky depths of memory, trying to find out how its hazy depths affect and change us. Yang Jie charts the flow of Being, believing that the mapping of our actions can provide an insight into our Self.

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
