’I work from life because when I see images in my mind they never have the characteristics of photography. Painting from life is as close as I can get to realising images as I first see them.’
Nicholas C. Williams is a painter whose work examines aspects of human behaviour conveyed through symbolism and direct observational painting. Public collections include the British Museum, London; the Frissiras Museum, Athens; Bournemouth Central Library; Falmouth Museum; and Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery. Williams’s most recent exhibitions were at the Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury, London, and at Emanuel von Baeyer Gallery, London. Previous solo shows include Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, Bournemouth; Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery, Truro; and Liverpool Cathedral for the opening of the European Capital of Culture.
