About
Born 1983, Columbus, Ohio
Living and working in Tampa, Florida.
Daniel Williams is a graphic and fine artist working in Clearwater, FL. Williams’ introduction to the arts began with a tendency to draw as a child during class, and his resulting detention periods. As a teenager he was introduced to punk rock and concert posters. Soon he created nearly 200 concert posters for Tampa Bay area clubs, as well as dozens of album packaging and band merchandising projects for artists nationally.
In 2005, Williams first exhibited as a fine artist while working in downtown Los Angeles. Living in such an immense, developed environment was a profound experience and is recognized in his work. He returned to Tampa and studied life - drawing at local studios. Daniel developed a technique, "Line, Light, and Layer," which used layered sheets of glass to present multiple line and figure drawings at varying perspectives. The layered and wiry line drawings give playful expression to a traditional technique.
Recent exhibits include mixed-media works using acrylic, paper, and ink on wood and illustration board. For a musically themed exhibit he produced a series, "Xaes: of visual." The 22 Xaes collages were created from deconstructed album packaging. The series focused on nostalgic value, form and design, and a pop aesthetic. The concept re-interpreted selected album packaging designs using a few modern visual arts movements, including de Stijl and constructivism.
Other mixed-media work includes layering geometric paint forms, road and aerial maps and other technical patterns.
