Publisher's Synopsis

This collection of Williams' most recent 58 paintings ranges from Williams' familiar lowbrow biker culture, stretching deep into faux science of quantum mechanics, leaving the viewer in a world of scientific mind play. Robert Williams sprang from the custom car culture of Southern California and was one of the original Zap Comix artists. He transcended the constraints of both, mastering oils and forging a career as the pre-eminent artist among a generation of imagist painters. Williams has now penetrated the inner sanctum of the fine arts movement.
