September 14 features artist Betsabée Romero on
The Archaeological Imprint of Speed: A Contemporary Reading of Pre-Columbian Cylindrical Seals.

Betsabée Romero lives and works in Mexico City. Known as the “mechanic artist”, she is famous for her transformation of automobiles and their components—carved tires, painted hoods etc.— into Pre-Columbian icons, colonial imagery, or contemporary popular Mexican objects (like the votive images).

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
