Todd Williamson
Williamson's work resonates with the depth and richness reminiscent of the mid-20th century American Abstract Expressionist movement, making his creations not just paintings but a profound visual experience.
Every brushstroke, every hue, and every texture in Williamson's pieces emanate meticulous thought and a masterful application of technique. Delve deeper into his works, and you'll discern an unwavering devotion to geometry. His canvases become stages where parallel formations play out, articulating a deliberate and captivating interplay of light, color, and form. With dexterous layers of oil built up and stripped back, Williamson conjures an intriguing dance of complementary hues and contrasting values, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the mesmerizing undertows of color and movement.
In 2019, art enthusiasts and critics alike were enthralled by Williamson's "Processional" at the 58th Venice Biennale. Attracting a staggering 100,000+ visitors, this masterwork was not just an exhibition but a sensation, lauded by esteemed platforms including Forbes, Domus, Widewalls, Artteez, and the Venice Insider.
Beyond Venice, Williamson's artistry has been celebrated and showcased across the globe. His accolades are a testament to his unparalleled skill and vision. In 2019, the prestigious Pollock Prize for Creativity was bestowed upon him. This is but one gem in a crown of honors that includes an International Film Festival Award, the Icon Award LA Beverly Arts, the Special Recognition Award MAVV Museum, and a litany of other distinguished recognitions.
Williamson is a visionary whose works elevate, inspire, and resonate with an enduring impact.
"Williamson’s large-scale paintings feel nearly monolithic in their physicality and the sheer weight of their presence." by Eve Wood, Artillery Magazine, Jan 5, 2021
"Abstract works of remarkable gestural power scattered around the chapel, even on the altar. Phrases from famous people accompany the works as engravings on black plates. words, tweets, and posts extrapolated from their speeches, written in Latin as messages of prophets, letters, and testimonies that thus take on even deeper importance." by Antonio Conte,
