![Kent Williams - Topsy-Turvy [2014]](http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5704/22665139449_c751bd8718_o.png)
Kent Williams has built up a formidable reputation as a powerful contemporary painter. His is a bold realism with combined attributes of abstraction and neo-expressionist sensibilities. His work is characterised by strong gestural forms combined with areas of arresting detail, rendered with rich dynamic brushwork. Williams’ approach to his subjects is often subjective and intense. Whether through multi-figured compositional complexity and suggestive narrative, or with the straight-forward lone human form, there is often autobiographical narrative at play. Favourite models, friends, and the artist himself all play a role in the human story of his paintings.
