Michael Williams combines contemporary realism with a minimalist sensibility, using an overwhelming sense of light to deconstruct the subjects of his work. The development of stark yet delicate paintings are underscored by his unique use of watercolor along with a focus on implied lines and ambiguous shapes, to fill the entirety of the implicit space. Pools and strokes of watercolor translucently enhance this deconstructive realism as he gives way to the hints of detail that acts as the visual focus of this process.
