Robin F. Williams at P·P·O·W
Celebrated for their visual analysis of women’s representation and gender construction in portraiture, advertising, folklore, social media, and film, Robin F. Williams injects humor and insight into her pulsating portrayals of psychological subjects. Continually experimenting with different ways of applying and manipulating paint, Williams presents graphically sophisticated scenes that speak to our times. Accordingly, their Siri Recharging painting depicts Apple’s digital assistant as a surrogate for the Brooklyn-based painter or any artist in search of renewed inspiration. Arrestingly painted with soft feathered forms and vivacious hues, the painting shapes the enigmatic voice while capturing the character’s aura.
