Liam Everett’s abstract, mixed-media paintings explore the process of art making. Inspired by dance and theatre, his gestural smears, smudges and strokes on panel and fabric are frenetic. He engages in an elaborate, labor-intensive method, in which he alternately builds up and erases layers of pigment. He uses such caustic, everyday substances as salt, lemon juice, and alcohol to remove sections of color leaving diffused, ethereal abstractions that radiate with life. The artist is represented by Altman Seigel Gallery, San Francisco, California and Kamel Mennour in Paris, France.
