"For more than two decades, Kent Williams has built up a formidable reputation as a powerful contemporary painter. His work is characterized by strong, gestural forms combined with areas of arresting detail rendered with rich, dynamic brushwork. Boldly articulated figures are often obscured or surrounded by abstracted, neo-expressionistic environments. Williams' approach to his subjects is subjective and intense, and there is often an autobiographical narrative at play. Favorite models, friends, and the artist himself all play a role in the human story of his paintings"--Provided by publisher.
