在本次展览中,威廉姆斯延续了近期创作的数字印刷作品的脉络,同时扩大了作品的规模。尽管威廉姆斯享受数字化的工作方式所带来的直观性,但他也对由印刷引发的对绘画本体论的隐藏挑战作出了深刻反思。通过在数字化环境中设计他的绘画内容,威廉姆斯不但拒绝了表现主义对“绘画即身体的直接延伸”的宣言,还通过计算机化的经验方式赋予了这种表述在21世纪中的全新表达。

威廉姆斯一直对由材料引发的画面性僵局、以及油画与计算机印刷之间潜藏的冲突抱有浓烈的兴趣。他的绘画作品混合了绘制的线条、各种形式融合的延伸、以及半透明的颜料,并将它们置于印刷的表面之上,使观者置身于熟悉与难以名状的感觉之间的不太真实的中间地带。威廉姆斯的作品既多元化又具有观念性,它们在扩展和干扰着现代主义的形式的同时,吸取着反映于日常生活之中的讽刺和矛盾状态。在他的绘画中,那些令人熟悉的绘画语汇——房子、计算机、宇宙飞船内饰、“并存”(Coexist)符号和颜料管——被艺术家狡猾的幽默感过滤,最终上升到一种理性层面上的熵。

Williams continues in the vein of recent digitally printed works but on a grander scale. While Williams enjoys the directness that comes from working digitally, he is also invested in the process of printing’s implied challenge to the doctrine of painting. By designing the content of his paintings in the digital environment, Williams both rejects the expressionistic dictum that painting is a direct extension of the body and reinvents it for the 21st century through the terms of computerized experience.

Williams is drawn to the sort of painterly impasse presented by the material and connotational conflicts of oil painting vs. computer printing. Blending drawn lines, stretched agglomerations of form, and translucent scrims of paint along the printed surface, Williams’ paintings situate us on an unlikely border between the familiar and the indecipherable. Williams’ work is simultaneously pluralistic and conceptual, extending and interrupting modernist formalism while assimilating the ironies and contradictions of daily life. The familiarity of his vocabulary in these paintings—houses, computers, spaceship interiors, the “COEXIST” symbol, and tubes of paint—is filtered through the artist’s wry sense of humor, ultimately achieving a reasoned entropy.
