Through a mastery of surface and composition; Williams' paintings imaginatively balance idioms from mid-century abstraction with contemporary urban references and the mark of the artist in the atelier. Through materiality; process and form; Tess Williams' work explores what a painting can be beyond its frontal surface. She tests how far she can push her works toward textiles; collage or installation; without them ceasing to exist as ”˜paintings'.
