Terrence Higgins Trust - 2024, Timed Auction

London-based painter Tess Williams studied at Central Saint Martins, graduating in 2015. She has since had solo shows in Germany, Spain and the UK, and group shows in France, Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark. Her work is held in collections across Europe, the USA and Asia. 

Materially rooted in the details of urban and bodily landscapes, Williams’ painting practice explores the physical deconstruction and reconfiguration of traditional abstract painting. By incorporating the use of collage, textiles and installation she allows the tangible and visceral material details to be the central focus. Process and physicality are always at the fore. Canvases are ripped up, recomposed, layered, sewn back together, altered completely, before evolving to become a finished work.
