West: Genus by Joshua Williams

51 x 40  Acrylic, graphite pencil, marker, and carbon tracing on Canvas by Joshua Williams

Artist Statement:

I am a visual artist that uses a mixture of intuitive line work, textured painting, and written words. Rather than simply being a drawing or painting, my pieces are to be seen as artifacts. They signify both Ancient historical artifacts and Contemporary culture(Especially graphic media.)

My work deals heavily with narrative and storytelling. But rather than simplistic telling, the works synthesize ideas pointing to their application to now. Ultimately, my work is about synthesizing the Ancient with the Contemporary.
