Literature:
Goodden, Sky. “10 Questions with Sheila Heti, Margaux Williamson, Sholem Krishtalka, and Ryan Kamstra”. ARTINFO Canada, May 01, 2012. Accessed August 18, 2014. http://ca.blouinartinfo.com/visual-arts/article/802200-10-questions-with-sheila-heti-margaux-williamson-sholem-krishtalka-and-ryan-kamstra
Notes:
Margaux Williamson is a multi-disciplinary artist, well known for her work in film, literature and painting. Her dreamlike world is brought to life as she follows her creative instincts and challenges our concept of reality, ìI am completely obsessed with art and how it relates to the world.î Williamson introduces us to a subtle fantasy world, full of wit and imagination. Her studied explorations of everyday life reflect the mundane, infused with a subdued colour palette meant to enhance our understanding of our contemporary surroundings.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Williamson has been living and working in Toronto since early 2000. Her work has been exhibited internationally and throughout North America. Her new book entitled I Can See Everything: The Paintings of Margaux Williamson was published by Coach House Press in the Spring of 2014, and includes 46 works by the artist.
