Provenance
The artist, from whom acquired by the present owner

Charles' artistic endeavors closely resemble short stories. He endeavors to encapsulate a myriad of thoughts, ranging from other artworks, both vintage and contemporary, to newspaper narratives, and even recollections of his holidays or recent shopping excursions, within each painting. Characters and locales within his work may either develop over time or emerge fleetingly.

The primary directive in his studio is strict: no sketches, no photographs, no studies—absolutely nothing of the sort. While people may presume that his paintings originate from specific sources, they are purely products of his imagination, created "a la tête." Charles prefers not to engage in the meticulous processes of sketching, fiddling around, or utilizing projection techniques.

Please note that an exhibition catalogue for 'Charles Williams' at The Walker Gallery & The Lady Lever Gallery, Liverpool, is included with this lot.
