Michael Williams — Bargain of Eden
Michael Williams

Bargain of Eden

Michael Williams' "Bargain of Eden" is a dynamic fusion of gestural oil painting and the smooth, graduated tones of airbrush technique on canvas. The work reflects Williams' signature approach of layering raw, expressive mark-making with precise, almost commercial spray applications, creating a tension between the handmade and the mechanical. The result is a visually complex surface that plays with ideas of desire, value, and the constructed nature of paradise.
