Kent Williams is keeping hope alive for oil painters in my mind. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of talented oil painters out there, but everyday I sweep past about a trillion people working in acrylics. Oils are a fading medium that need to make a serious comeback. Williams, with his Shiele-esque style, has enough talent to give them the much needed kick back into the spotlight. Good tone and luminosity, as well as some amazing compsitions, make Williams an ideal candidate for modern oil poster-kid. Here’s the thing though, oil painters…once you’ve gotten your rightful place as kings of the art world, remember to sell it to me for a low, low price since I was clearly so pivotal in your meteoric rise. That’s all I ask.
