Ltd Ink Corporation (Kevin Harman) is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Liam Allan. Arrangements comprises six drawings focusing on aspiration and precarity.
The exhibition originated with research into a found image documenting an amateur artists’ workshop. A group of students were asked to create towers of clay tiles that stood without any additional support — a methodology examining talent and resilience.
Allan’s drawings start with the creation of similar, temporarily self-sustaining clay sculptures. They are composed, photographed and then meticulously rendered in pencil on paper, before being destroyed.
Ideas revolving around the "constant temporary" and infinitely renewable aspirations are the focus of Allan’s practice, which centers around drawing and considers societal aspiration.
