Fall Promises Brilliant Color  
Artist Dana Schutz is one of the most important young artists to emerge in the last ten years.

Combining fantasy and reality, humor and horror, the artist creates figurative paintings in a distinctive visual style characterized by vibrant color and raw and tactile brushwork, in which imaginary worlds and hypothetical situations are all at once absurd, strange, and impossible, yet oddly compelling.  

Schutz is the recipient of the 2011 Roy R. Neuberger Exhibition Prize awarded every two years to an artist for an early career survey and monographic catalogue.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
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
