About the Item
This beautiful abstract painting is by the noted San Francisco Bay Area artist Geoffrey Williams (1942-) The work is titled Trocoman #5. It is an abstract painting based on nature, as it depicts a flowing stream and the streambed beneath the swirling waters. Williams is a serious fly fisherman and has visited many streams to fish (the Trocoman is a river in Western Argentina, noted for fly-fishing.) Fly fishing in the wilderness can be a meditative, transcendent experience, and I imagine, can also nourish artistic insight. The painting measures 48” x 60” and is composed of acrylic and rhoplex on canvas. The rhoplex adds a complex three-dimensional texture that is as powerful as the painted composition. It is a vibrant painting, but not jittery; it has a strong flowing natural energy. The painting is not framed, nor was it meant to be framed. The edges of the canvas are painted as nicely as the front of the canvas itself, so it is ready to hang. It is signed, titled and dated on the reverse, “Geoffrey Williams, Trocoman #5, 1990.” It is in good condition, especially for a 28 year old painting with such a textured surface. I thought it might have a tiny bit of surface dirt, but I cleaned it carefully and lightly with a warm damp cloth and nothing came off, so, I would say it is in good condition. Please google Geoffrey Williams to learn more about his exceptional work.
Fly-fishing in the wilderness can be a meditative, transcendent experience, Williams says of his artistic process: "There is a wonderful connection to me between the meditative and conscious aspects of fly-fishing and the act of painting itself. The paintings complete the process and are a final document of those experiences - another meditation."
Combining layers of color in acrylic over heavy brush strokes and heavier impasto, Williams creates a sense of capturing the flux, the everchanging forces of nature in a moment of stasis. To achieve these effects of earth from near or afar, its geology reflecting light and color through the movement of water, Williams explains, "I sometimes document a place photographically, however, I work exclusively from memo ry. In each painting, I try to create a collage of ideas about a place, whether it be a river image or a topographical landscape; to capture the form, texture, color, movement and light of a place rather than one view. For this reason, I think the paintings can be accessible to the viewer's imagination and to experiences from their past."
His canvases (which tend to be large) are uniquely different from most non-objective paintings inasmuch as they are affective equally in a big or in a small space. It has been observed that on viewing his paintings "one senses a feeling of physical distance, sometimes limitless and sometimes specifically defined, of depths and heights, of stress and calm, of power and finesse."
As he packed for yet another fly-fishing trip, Williams enthused, "Being passionate about the sport for the last thirty-five years has taken me to some pretty exotic and amazing landscapes, including Alaska, Patagonia, New' Zealand , Sweden, Norway, as well as Idaho , Montana, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming and, of course, California. I'm inspired by the beauty, complexity and uniqueness of a place, sometimes leading to several years of painting on one series."
His works can be seen in museums in San Jose, Palm Springs and Peoria, Illinois. They have also found their place in some impressive private, corporate and banking collections as well as in deluxe hotels here in the United States and abroad.
