About the Item
"Man Wearing Crown in Water" is an acrylic paint and mixed media on paper, by Brooklyn, New York artist Dale Williams. It measures 50" high by 38" wide. This artwork is part of a new ongoing series called "Humans Without Warning". Typical of the artist's practice, it is mythic and humanitarian all at once, striking several political and spiritual notes as well.
From Dale Williams – "The figures of Humans Without Warning arrive with little forethought. They soon reveal their troubled and antic states of being. They began at the start of the COVID pandemic and explore shared vulnerabilities in a time of political and social disunity. If I am mindful of any of their attributes as I work on them, it is surely how the figures mirror the losses many of us have experienced over the past two years, and the accompanying trudge which often finds us stumbling into numbness."
From George Del Barrio (2018), Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos and Disasters of War, and the personal mythologizing of the late paintings of Philip Guston. Such works echo throughout Williams social surrealist re-visioning."
Dale Williams has exhibited in the New York City area for over 25 years. He is a 2014 recipient of a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts from the New York Foundation for the Arts. His recent one-person show, “America Now Suite,” which re-visioned American history in service of the civic imagination, was held at Gowanus Loft, Brooklyn in October 2018. A selection of portraits from “America Now Suite” was included in the BRIC Biennial, Winter/Spring 2019. His portrait of Osip Mandelstam was included in the group show "Fresh Paint" at Art of Our Century Gallery, New York, February 2020.
A show of drawings from his ongoing collaborative project with writer Ben Miller, “Cage Dies Bird Flies,” was held at the Center for Literary Arts of Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, April 2019; a performance based on the drawings was staged to coincide with the exhibition. His work has been published in the Journal of Black Mountain College, BOMB, Ecotone, Inverted Syntax, Bat City Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review and other print and on-line journals. He studied art at the Cooper Union, Hunter College and Cal Arts.
