Latest Abstract ArtworksThe central inquiry of Todd Williamson's recent body of work provokes critical thought: "Who are we entrusting with power, and what are the implications of this choice?" His abstract contemporary paintings are a mélange of symbolism, blending color theory, numerology, and mysticism to offer a profound reflection on the contemporary value systems in society. Williamson's art challenges viewers to scrutinize the allocation of power and influence, pondering the subsequent consequences.
In his series of "abstract portraits," Williamson adeptly captures the formidable influence wielded by societal thought leaders and influencers. These artworks are further enriched by original musical scores, which act not just as accompaniments but as amplifications of the emotional depth embodied in each canvas. This artistic synthesis raises a pressing question: "Why does society bestow its power so readily?" Williamson's work invites a contemplative evaluation of these dynamics, urging viewers to reconsider the criteria and consequences of our collective endorsements.
