Chris Williamson British

Overview
Chris Williamson is an British/Australian artist based in Margaret River, known for his large body of work that incorporates sculpture and artwork made from found objects.
 
His practice revolves around the transformation of everyday, discarded materials into intricate, thought-provoking pieces. By using these materials, Williamson encourages viewers to engage with the objects in a more investigative manner, often exploring their histories, functions, and potential meanings.
 
His work draws inspiration from the notion of repurposing and reimagining what has been overlooked, pushing the boundaries of materiality and art. The found objects he utilises often have their own story, which he recontextualizes to spark curiosity and reflection. Whether through intricate sculptures or other forms of art, Williamson invites his audience to experience these objects anew, fostering a deeper connection to the materials we typically discard.
