Robt. Williams has spent his career challenging the fine art establishment with an unrelenting onslaught of work too boisterous to ignore. His journey through hot rod culture, underground comix, punk rock, and East and West Coast gallery scenes has been revolutionary. In addition to shattering the boundaries of contemporary art through his provocative paintings, he has rallied a new generation of artists through the creation of Juxtapoz magazine. He is the leading pioneer of an unstoppable art movement that he has described as "Feral Art"...art that's had to raise itself out of the wilderness.
"... Williams and his art are born of a uniquely California
confluence of cultural phenomena: car culture, alternative comics,
skateboarding, animation, pornography and the entertainment
industry." -- Carolina A. Miranda, Los Angeles Times
"The current international capitol of artistic sophistication is
New York City. Ever since the end of the Second World War, every
small city in the United States that has an art community has
looked to New York for cultural parenting. However, an interesting
anomaly has developed over the years. "Sophistication," like any
other folkway, travels slowly, with misinterpretations happening
along the way. By the time high culture reached the West Coast it
had traded its Brooks Brothers suit for cut-offs, a Hawaiian shirt,
and flip-flops. Art on the West Coast, as much as it tries to
maintain blue blood affectations, shows mutations. It just doesn't
have the aloof adroit coldness the Eastern Seaboard art society
seems to portray." -- Robert Williams, from his Introduction to
Slang Aesthetics
