William T. Williams: Word of Eye

William T. Williams: Word of Eye is the debut presentation of the newest body of paintings by William T. Williams (b.1942). The gallery's fourth solo exhibition of the artist's work, the presentation includes eleven paintings created between 2024 and 2025 whose luminous surfaces shift according to the positioning of the viewer, demanding sustained looking and insisting on a phenomenological viewing experience. Simultaneously a continuation of the artist's decades-long engagement with surface and a deliberate broadening of his palette, these new works show Williams pushing the boundaries of abstraction, furthering a dialogue with the entirety of his oeuvre, and enacting an endless exploration of the possibilities of his medium. The latest development in the artist's lifelong commitment to finding a mode of mark-making that is undeniably his own, these new paintings are imbued with a sense of monumentality that is expressed through their beauty, compositional complexity, and perceptual impact. Titled after one of the paintings on view, Word of Eye speaks to viewers through visual rhythm, form, texture, and tone.
