“Robert Williams is a legend in the mythology of lowbrow, pop surrealist, hot-rod visual art. Founder of Juxtapoz and darling of collectors with a taste for the perverse and iconoclastic, Williams has inspired generations of mischievous intellects with his unmistakable combination of historical classicism, muscle-bound retro flair, and omnivorous appreciation for noir irony, chrome, and primary colors. Yet, in this new series, Williams demonstrates a mellowing of narrative and palette. Especially in soft-hued and witty paintings like Derision and The Flight of the Last Dodo, the artist offers a surprisingly pensive and often exceedingly beautiful incarnation of his evolving, mature talent.”
