Sue Williams @ Skarstedt

Following her acclaimed exhibition of historical works from 1997-1998 in New York, Sue Williams’ New Paintings demonstrate a continuing interest in exploring the fluid boundary between figuration and abstraction and her pursuance of the transformation of one into the other.
In this body of work, the paintings have an increasing ethereality. They utilise the lightness of exposed ground to create areas of watery colour that combine with the elements of mark making, doodling, lining and smudging seen in her previous works. In them, as ever, gender roles and politics are alluded to whilst she also explores memory and personal experience.
