Artist Statement:
"A Robert Williams painting is an invitation to romance. Each sunlit scene has a fresh delicacy that relies equally on composition and color. His works portray understated elegance and a relaxed atmosphere. The lack of complexity of each element--light, shadow, color, composition creates the mood, one of wholesome delight. A few hours with me and you know me."
I try to recreate a feeling of idealism in my art, a sense of romance and playfulness. My intention is to capture the calm and peacefulness of the moment through the use of light and color. Ultimately, the use of light is what motivates me as an artist."
Biography:
Robert Williams is a modern day Impressionist. He is a native Californian, raised on the island of Catalina. His early carefree days near the shore have left an indelible imprint on his art style. Known for his sun-drenched beach scenes of women and children at play on the sand and in the surf, his paintings are intended to express a timelessness, sensuality and great tranquility.
Robert Williams applies paint in a sensuous, tactile manner, conveyed through rich surface impasto that appears to set his canvases aglow with brilliant light, rich color and deep shadows, expressing an overwhelming sense of the joy of life. The artist is passionate about his work. Though physically large and imposing, he is sensitive, calm and quietly assured. His sense of virtue seems inseparable from his art.
Inspired by the works of Monet, Sargent, Sorolla and heavily influenced by the American impressionist William Merritt Chase, Robert Williams is dedicated to a painting style known as California Impressionism. His radiant use of light; subject and powerful coloring techniques demonstrate unparalleled talent and sensitivity.
After studying at the Chouinard Art Institute, Williams did design work for Hollywood studios. In 1980, he was signed by Walt Disney Studios where he designed murals and scenery.
