JUSTIN WILLIAMS

b. 1984, Australia

Justin Williams Biography

Justin Williams (based in Santa Fe, New Mexico) received a B.A. in Communication and Design from Swinburne University in 2004. His practice is coloured by both his Egyptian heritage and the communities he has forged between Australia, France and New Mexico, where he currently lives and works. Composed within a displaced timeline that ripples between the past, present and imagined, his canvases form a pentimento of personal history, memory and mythology.

He has had recent solo exhibitions at COMA, Sydney, Australia; Galerie Crèvecoeur, Paris, France; Vigo Gallery, London, United Kingdom; Sade Gallery, Los Angeles, California; Galerie l’Inlassable, Paris, France; and Anna Pappas Gallery, Melbourne, Australia. His practice has been featured in numerous publications including Cmarthoughts, Talking with Painters, Forbes, and Artist Profile. His work is included in the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, Bourse de Commerce Pinault Collection, Arndt Collection and the Xiao Museum of Contemporary Art.
