FRAN WILLIAMS
Evocative figures appear from the depth of Fran’s oil paintings. Vivid colour and texture almost mask the face and body of her self portraiture. The strength of tones and free use of the brush are in contrast to the vulnerability of the portraiture. Fran’s paintings offer different interpretations and stimulate multiple emotional responses. We may feel ‘broken’ sadness, abandoned joy, torment, longing or desperation. The sense of mystique draws us in to the paintings and questions our understanding of the work and maybe our own feelings.
