Sue Williams
“The work is raw + accomplished; strong, charged + challenging in its links to contemporary lives + the sexualisation of western society”
Sue Williams is a prominent international artist + leading female artist in Wales, with a recognised body of work and an exhibition history of both solo + group shows on five continents. Her autoethnographic practice, whether drawing or text, articulates the complexities of human relationships in a contemporary cultural context – whether visual or textual she demonstrates a vulnerability which invariably elicits an effective response. Williams continues to challenge and explore new concepts and multi-disciplinary art forms, drawing the viewer into a world of provocative sexual + emotional politics. The work is raw + accomplished; strong, charged + challenging in its links to contemporary lives + the sexualisation of western society. Williams continues to explore + challenge the fantasies of feminism, sexuality, gender + culture in her work, in doing so she offers her passionate + direct response to the complex world of human frailty.
Williams is professor of Fine Art at Swansea College of Art, University of Wales Trinity Saint David and is one of Wales’ leading contemporary female artists in 2000 Williams was awarded the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the National Eisteddfod of Wales and the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation award for painting. In 2005 she was one of eight shortlisted artists for the second biannual Artes Mundi contemporary art prize.
