About
"Lazarus from the Tombstone" is an acrylic painting with oil stick, graphite and collage elements on canvas measuring 86" high by 98" wide. It references the story of Lazarus risen from the dead by Christ the savior – a story which has mythical roots across every culture. As a subject, it's huge. Arresting time. Reversing life and death. Phoenix rising. Someone lost is now found and redeemed. A second chance. And what do we do now with a second chance? With that in mind, what can we make of this painting, by what path do we enter into it? Perhaps it's a well-known path, a backyard path to our old neighborhood, home and family.
Press Release 2018: "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." – George Del Barrio, Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY
