This new body of work by Sebastopol, California painter Liam Everett features several large and commanding abstract canvases. It is not surprising to learn that Everett’s primary interest is exploring the very act of painting. This is noticeable in the many textures and uses of the material seen in the works: pooled, scrubbed, patterned, airbrushed and so on. Everett also places tools and other objects he finds in his studio on top of the canvas; the resulting marks are evident. The works are as planned as they are experimentations, with countless moments of happy accidents.
