David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by Michael Williams at Frieze Los Angeles. Over the last two decades, Williams has utilised innumerable facets of painting's processes, history, and internal and external dialogues in the service of making works that honour its many competing traditions while remaining beholden to none of them. His ongoing series of Puzzle Paintings, a group of which are featured in this presentation, exemplifies the rigour and commitment—as well as the provocative combination of faith and doubt—that characterise his approach. In these newest examples, Williams explores the places where systematic procedure and intuitive expression converge and diverge, examining the intersections between modes of looking and making that are often considered antithetical to one another, and locating their unexpected harmonies as well as their generative dissonances.
