Margaux Williamson is a Canadian painter, filmmaker, and writer based out of Toronto. Williamsons’ paintings can be understood as, “a philosophical investigation of the landscape around her, as well as dedicated rigour and formal exploration into the development and possibilities of painting as a medium". Through her work she has created a highly personal visual language which she uses to explore themes of subjecthood, storytelling, life, death, aging and tension. Although dealing with dark and heavy themes, Williamson's works are ultimately hopeful, exploring the possibility of light in darkness. Williamson's works are often intertextual with her references ranging from popular culture to objects she finds lying around her studio. In her work she is unafraid to reference and draw on art history, specifically finding inspiration from artists such as “Goya, Manet, Duchamp, Luc Tuymans and Philip Guston over the years,”.
