Zara June Williams

Intrigued by the feeling of bewilderment that ensues contradiction, Zara June Williams’ explores the cyclical and cumulative nature of painting through an impulsive and often destructive approach to making. Compelled by incongruous encounters, the artist not only seeks to untangle problems but to create them. Her recent work combines painterly abstraction with collage, bringing together disparate parts in order to mimic and hence reflect on the fractured and disorderly nature of the self.

Zara June Williams (b. 1990, Australia) completed a Master of Fine Arts at the National Art School, Sydney, in 2018. Recently she undertook an international artist residency at Pilotenkueche in Leipzig, Germany, where she continued to live and work throughout 2020.
