Chillida, homme de fer 

SAINT-PAUL-DE-VENCE – C’est une histoire de fidélité : Antonio Chillida (1924-2002) a été le plus jeune artiste exposé lors de l’inauguration de la fondation Maeght en 1964. Près d’un demi-siècle plus tard, alors qu’il est lui-même décédé et que son parc de sculptures au pays Basque espagnol est en difficulté (ouvert en 2000 près de San Sebastián, il est fermé au public depuis le 1er janvier 2011), ce grand ami des Maeght bénéficie d’une grande rétrospective en 150 œuvres. On y voit évidemment les monumentales Stèles et Enclumes en fer de ce « sculpteur devenu forgeron » (selon les mots de Gaston Bachelard), qui a toujours accordé beaucoup d’importance à la création pour l’espace public. Mais aussi toutes les autres facettes de son art : dessins, terres chamottées, reliefs en bois,Torse en pierre, Hommage à la mer en albâtre jusqu’aux dessins des dernières années, baptisés Gravitations, des encres sur papiers découpés.

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
