"I endeavour to make beautifully constructed paintings that impact upon the viewer where I will to surpass meaning, enlighten the realisation of 'now' and rouse the contemplation of a moment if just for a moment, inspired by 'Nature' and the Nature of 'Self'".
David Charles Williams is a British Artist living and working in Wales where he makes paintings that are pithy, punchy and to the point. Williams considers himself a painter who straddles upon the ideology of Abstract painting referencing 'Baroque', 'op art' and 'colour field' sensibilities. Adopting a circular motif which he refers to as his 'centred paintings'. His practice uses a language of contrasting ground rules, where rigid structure sits in conjunction with phenomenological principles and human instinct.
Williams' narrative resides within the philosophical, where he supposes the division between the 'Natural' and the 'Synthetic'. Williams' work is full of romantic gesture with an uncompromising spark of intent. He draws from the past, looking ever further forward, whilst standing right in the present.
Williams has an enriched Arts background, training and working within Fine Art, Music, Fashion, Graphic Design, Film and Computer Aided Arts and Media. He is also extremely active in sports taking general well health seriously.
