Peter Williams






Everything is Everything at Paul Kotula Projects in Ferndale is a collection of new work by the artist Peter Williams. The work describes the artist's connection to Detroit and is filled with imagery recalling his Detroit influences, like painter Robert Wilbert in "Emeritus". The deconstruction of faces and the familiar into the realm of abstraction twists depth into the work. Some of the watercolor works convey meaningful commentaries on urban life while the portraits seemingly pose existential questions about identity.
Peter Williams is a greatly missed Detroit artist who I hope will continue to visit and bring along his new "mind-blowing" art. (see above)
