After earning an MFA from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, William Gatewood embarked on a career in fine art that would bring him international recognition. Some of his early work reflects influences of Matisse, Magritte, and Klimt. Space/sky combined with its opposite, object/mass patterns, has been his subject from early paintings and throughout his career. Gatewood's work tells a sublime story to attract the viewer with beauty, and to share a vision by engaging the mind with visual opposites. East/West, old/new, contrived/structural, durable/fragile, chaos/harmony - each visually playing off the energy created by the stress. Through his work he celebrated the magic and wonder in the world. William Gatewood often used paper with constructed wood structures, such as kites and panel pieces, to express flight, space, and fragility. Screens are used for creating environments for the viewer to manipulate, thus bringing the viewer into an individual sense of play or movement. The components of the surface are applied in transparent and/or opaque layers creating a lost and found rhythm. The visual complexity and the chaos of random drips and splashes are created with inks, paints, Japanese papers, and metallic leafing. The iconography of the East is often combined with a Western approach to painting.
