Nicholas Dietrich Williams

Nick Williams' works take reference from great painters like Breugel and Matisse, fused with modern popular music culture.

The figures are drawn free-hand, sourced from internet videos. They become deformed and twisted apparitions after being sketched from a moving image, where elements are kept or deleted at will. Traditional rules are simultaneously maintained and broken: there is light, but no shadow; each area has been resolved and activated as a part geometric, part-ambiguous abstract composition, informed by an intuitive approach.
