Fiona Williams
Fiona Williams is an abstract artist based in Hampshire. She studied Fine Art at Winchester School of Art , Southampton University. Her work is inspired mainly by nature and landscape. It is expressed through lyrical abstraction and a process of painting that is unplanned and improvisational.
The application of paint, mark making and colour usage are explored and experimented with. A visual dialogue is created between the source of inspiration and the expression of it, resulting in paintings that are spontaneous and unplanned but capture the energy of nature and translate it into paint.
Fiona Williams draws inspiration from the processes used and explored by contemporary painters such as, CY Twombly, Gillian Ayres, Callum Innes, Pat Steir and Gerhard Richter. Her work is influenced by Abstract Expressionism, European Lyrical Abstraction(1940s-1950s) and American Lyrical Abstraction (1960s-1970s), as each painting is unplanned and improvisational. The Tate describes Lyrical Abstraction as a "spontaneous, organic and gestural type of painting", but "the conceptual approaches " vary "according to each artist."
(Tate, 2011).
Fiona's paintings can be found in many private collections across the UK.
