THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF A RENOWNED AMERICAN ARTIST
Hollis Randol Williford was an American artist known for his remarkable versatility and creative range. He excelled in drawing, sculpting, painting and etching, and his work earned him esteem among collectors and institutions alike.
The genius of Williford's work is how it often occupied two spaces and two points in time at once. The artist created many works that embodied the liminal space between two worlds, stretching the limits of composition for the artist and heightening the sense of mystery for the viewer.
“In Swedish, there is a word — ‘Ekta’ — which means genuine, the true, the essential quality of things,” said Clarence Tillenius, an artist and friend. “Hollis is constantly seeking the essential ingredient, the thing that makes his sculpture live. You feel, in the presence of his sculptures, that here is a man who is concerned only with rendering the essential truth of things."
