Detailed Life

“For me, life is in the detail. I enjoy depicting a world of detail while at the same time creating a quietly graceful, peaceful and thought provoking painting. But how do you do that? It’s an enchanting journey - one that can take months to conclude.”

 - John Williams


Collected together for the first time, ‘Detailed Life’ presents a selection of John’s visually rich and immensely detailed paintings. John sheds light on the thoughts and processes that go in to the creation of each of the works, through films, galleries of source images, and text. An interactive slider allows you explore the many stages it takes to build up a painting, and to see exactly how a blank canvas can come to life at the hands of this extraordinary artist.
