Textures As Life Itself

 John Williams, textures as life itself.

John Williams gives life to textures on his canvases, like the painter Jean Dubuffet did with his series of Texturologies, creating landscapes where gouache in thick layers was used as an element to create a third dimension. Frottage technique, work on the material of the canvas itself are elements that John William uses to surprise us. 

 John Williams goes above abstract art, by connecting senses together: in fact some of his most outstanding pieces of art deal with symbols such as Mesopotamian writings on clay. These symbols have also to do with giving life, such as one of his paintings where spermatozoids reach to fecondate the ovum. His painting is of a seminal fluidity and reveals a powerful metaphore of life itself.
