TODD WILLIAMSON
**Artist Statement**
In my work, I explore the relationship between color, sound, and perception. My goal is to create works that resonate emotionally, drawing you into a layered journey of sight and sound. Each piece is built up with care, from the ground up, often using a minimalist palette. Through a process of layering, sanding, grinding, scraping, and fine brushwork, I bring out light from within the painting, letting each artwork tell its own story.
What I really love about this process is how it allows for a moment of reflection. As you look at my work, you can appreciate the subtle dance of colors and textures. I play with balance—mixing controlled techniques with a bit of chaos to keep things interesting. The textures might suggest a landscape or simply let your imagination roam, but they stay rooted in abstraction.
I also collaborate with musicians to lift the visual experience into the realm of sound. This partnership transforms the way the artwork is perceived, enriching your experience as the colors and forms evolve into a harmonious blend of sight and sound.
I want you to look closer, listen deeper, and feel more profoundly.

"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."
