About
Through materiality, process and form, Tess Williams’ work explores what a painting can be beyond its surface. She tests how far she can push her works toward textiles, collage or installation, without them ceasing to exist as ‘paintings’.
Each piece of work is constantly in flux from start to finish. A painting may have taken on many different physical forms in the studio before it is ever exhibited. Restless about the outcome - paintings are ripped up, sewn back together, altered completely, finally evolving to become a finished piece. Exploring how folds, creases, layers and movement within the materials can not only act as a form of mark making, but also how they can reference bodily states and sensations. She intends her work to exaggerate the physical presence of our own bodies
Tess graduated from MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 2015. Her work has since been exhibited at London galleries including Charlie Smith London, Griffin Gallery, White Conduit Projects, The Dot Project, and in Frankfurt at Galerie Heike Strelow. Upcoming exhibitions include a two-person show at Unit 1 Gallery, London (curated by After Projects), and solo shows at Galeria Kernel, Caceres and Nir Altman Galerie, Munich.
