Todd Williamson
USATodd Williamson
Todd Williamson studied Fine Arts at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee and UCLA. Since then, he has displayed his work in several solo-exhibitions in New York, California, France, and Italy.
Williamson’s exhibition “Blurring the Lines” reveals several artistic styles, which he developed in different geographic locations. His works are strongly impacted by personal experiences, memories, and Williamson’s strong passion for music. Lines are the main protagonists in his works and remind us of music notebooks. Through them, the artist creates harmonic compositions simultaneously defined by realism and imagination, yet never leaving the realms of the abstract.
