Charles Williams, a former student at the Royal Academy Schools, has exhibited his paintings in various locations across the UK, Europe, and the USA. 
His art explores a dynamic interplay between his studio work, specific paintings that inspire him, and the stories and ideas that occupy his imagination and memory.

His creative process involves an unfolding improvisation, where narrative, surface, and image merge to express his experiences in the Art World, from being a gallery artist to an art teacher. Charles Williams draws inspiration from various works he has studied. In a recent shift, he moved away from depicting people to focusing on animals, aiming to escape human representation and the associated themes of class, privilege, and wealth.

Recorded in Faversham in July 2023.
