About
Why this artist matters now
Sue Williams works across painting and sculpture, merging gestural abstraction with figuration to examine how bodily experience shapes pictorial space. Her practice, rooted in postwar material experimentation, treats the canvas and three-dimensional form as sites where gesture and physicality intersect. Her approach resists the separation of abstraction from the body, instead collapsing the two into a unified pictorial territory.
