Justin Lee Williams is an Australian artist and illustrator who seems to intrigue anyone. Williams offers the viewer a new artistic space - a new world, symbolic and a little scary.
Driven by a childhood dream of art, the future artist enters the graphic design department at Swinburne University in Melbourne. Later, however, it was illustration, not design, that would become his calling. Williams recently moved from a bustling city to a cozy suburb, which he never regretted. “In the city, you are literally bombarded with advertisements, unnecessary information and the like. My new home has a beneficial effect on me and my work. I have rethought a lot, and today I am able to look at my work as if from the outside,”the artist admits.
“I live in a studio and I must admit that it gets a bit messy, especially before an exhibition, or when I'm about to finish a job. The studio is located on the second floor of a log house, lost in dense forests. There I have everything I need: a computer, a desktop and walls where I can place my finished works,”says Justin. Williams considers animals and various aspects of childhood memories to be his favorite themes in his work. In his new works, he increasingly began to refer to the so-called "moments between time" - "intertemporal moments." “It's like going nowhere when the destination is not important,” explains the artist.
Williams is not tied to a particular technique, and most of his illustrations are written in simple pencil. True, the need for experimentation still makes itself felt. She prompted the artist to use a new technique in one of his last works. Initially, the artist mixes ink and dishwashing detergent and then blows the resulting solution into bubbles onto the paper. To young artists just starting out, Williams says: “The main advice, of course, is not to give up and … love what you do. The scheme will definitely not work if you do not love what you do. Work, work productively, and the right people will find you."
Jaume Montserrat's drawings of hollow animals, like Williams' illustrations, are talented and bear the stamp of mild anxiety.
