Latest Abstract ArtworksAt the core of Todd Williamson’s recent body of work lies a penetrating inquiry about power, diversity, and inclusion.
His abstract paintings weave together symbolism, color theory, numerology, and mysticism to create a profound meditation on the value systems shaping contemporary society. Rather than offering answers, Williamson’s art compels viewers to confront the mechanisms of authority and influence, and to reflect on the consequences of their distribution. In his recent series of “abstract portraits,” Williamson captures the intangible yet formidable presence of cultural leaders and influencers, translating their impact into visual form. These works are sometimes further deepened by original musical scores—composed in close collaboration with the artist—that function not as accompaniment, but as an extension of the paintings’ emotional and intellectual resonance. This synthesis of image and sound sharpens the artist's central provocation. Williamson’s work ultimately calls for a reconsideration of the criteria by which we grant authority, urging a more critical awareness of the structures that govern collective trust.
