Neo-Expressionist Portrait Paintings
NEO-EXPRESSIONIST STYLE
A resurgence of interest in Expressionism, Pop art, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and other movements gained steam among artists of the 1970s and ’80s, in part as a reaction to the austerity of the prevailing minimalism and Conceptual art of the era. A decadent, bold and brash art style called Neo-Expressionism saw painters returning to figural representation, creating highly textured works that were imbued with intensely personal narratives.
Neo-Expressionist paintings are sensuous in nature and highly subjective in meaning. Expressive brushwork, highly pigmented colors and layered forms and materials lent sculptural attributes to the work and were used to depict symbolic narratives from history, mythology and the artist’s personal experience.
Prominent figures such as Jean-Michel Basquiat led the Neo-Expressionist movement in the United States with paintings and prints that were raw, emotional and often violent in nature. In Germany, Die Neuen Wilden (the “New Fauves”) was the name given to a group of postwar artists that included the likes of sculptor Georg Baselitz and Gerhard Richter, a painter and photographer who explored the possibilities of both abstraction and realism, sometimes in a single piece. The work of the New Fauves — labeled as such for its return to Fauvism’s textured brushwork and use of vibrant colors — shares commonalities with Neo-Expressionism, and Baselitz was a pioneer of the movement in Europe. In addition, Willem de Kooning’s pulsating action paintings and Julian Schnabel’s experimentation with the materiality of paintings also took shape during this period.
“I was trying to make paintings different from the paintings that I saw a lot of at the time, which were mostly minimal, and they were highbrow and alienating, and I wanted to make very direct paintings that most people would feel the emotion behind when they saw them,” said Basquiat.
Neo-Expressionism generated some polarizing opinions, with some celebrating the revival of personal subjectivity in art while others criticizing the movement for being too commercially driven and nostalgic. But most experts agree that Neo-Expressionism was a huge commercial success and culturally impactful, paving the way for the postmodern work of artists like Richter and Sigmar Polke.

Winter is coming
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Winter is Coming" is an artwork that conjures a sense of anticipation, foreboding, and transformation. The title itself evokes the imagery of the changing seasons and the imminent arrival of winter, a time often associated with cold, stillness, and introspection.
The artwork may depict various visual elements that represent the transition into winter. It could showcase barren trees, falling leaves, or a landscape covered in a blanket of snow. The artist may use a subdued color palette, capturing the muted tones and ethereal atmosphere of the season.
Through "Winter is Coming," the artist may explore the deeper symbolism associated with winter. It can represent the passage of time, the cycles of nature, and the inevitability of change. The artwork may serve as a reminder that just as winter arrives, so too do periods of challenge, introspection, and personal growth in our own lives.
Moreover, "Winter is Coming" invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences and emotions connected to the season. It may evoke feelings of nostalgia for cozy moments by the fireplace, the beauty of snow-covered landscapes, or the introspection that winter's stillness brings. It also prompts contemplation on the resilience and adaptability required to navigate life's challenges.
The artwork may inspire viewers to embrace the transformative power of winter, acknowledging that even in the harshest of seasons, there is beauty and potential for renewal. It encourages us to find solace and strength in the quieter moments, to reflect on our journeys, and to prepare ourselves for the opportunities that lie ahead.
"Winter is Coming" is an artwork that captures the essence of transition, introspection, and the cyclical nature of life. It prompts reflection on the beauty and challenges associated with the arrival of winter, both in the natural world and within our own lives. The artwork serves as a reminder to embrace change, find resilience, and discover the hidden wonders that lie within the quieter moments of our journey.

Impresser
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Impresser" is an intriguing artwork that captures the essence of competition, skill, and the desire to impress. This piece of art depicts a man playing snooker with exceptional skill, in the presence of a lady who is watching him intently. The artwork showcases the man's confidence and mastery of the game, as he strives to impress the on-looking lady with his abilities. This work is inspired by the rate of ability Men display to impress a lady they've fallen for. Moses Ndubuzo came to the realization that Men (who don't know much about women) do things with style and often incredible things when a crush is around the corner, just like showing off, but this time it's natural.
The man in the artwork is shown in a moment of intense focus, as he lines up his shot on the snooker table. His body language exudes confidence and skill, and his expression suggests that he is fully immersed in the game. The lady, on the other hand, is shown standing at a distance, watching the man with a curious and fascinated expression. She is dressed in elegant attire, which adds to the ambiance of the scene, and her presence seems to be the focal point of the man's efforts.
This creates a sense of visual interest and draws the viewer's attention toward the lady, who is the center of the man's attention. The lighting in the artwork is also skillfully done, with the snooker table being illuminated, creating a sense of focus on the game.
The artwork's title, "Impresser," is aptly chosen, as it encapsulates the man's desire to impress the lady. This desire is a common human trait, as people often seek to impress others with their skills, talents, and abilities. The man's mastery of the game of snooker is a testament to his dedication and hard work, and his desire to impress the lady reflects the universal desire to be recognized and appreciated for one's achievements.
Overall, "Impresser" is a captivating artwork that speaks to the human experience of competition, skill, and the desire to impress. Its use of colors, lighting, and symbolism creates a sense of visual interest and draws the viewer into the scene. This artwork is a testament to the power of art to capture human emotions and experiences, and its ability to connect people across time and space. Whether one is a snooker player or not, "Impresser" is an artwork that is worth experiencing.

Overall, "Far From Home" is a stunning piece of art that speaks to the human experience of longing for a place to call home. Its subtle yet powerful symbolism, combined with its evocative imagery, creates a sense of emotional resonance that is hard to forget. This artwork is a testament to the power of art to convey complex emotions and experiences, and its ability to connect people across time and space. Whether one is far from home or not, "Far From Home" is an artwork that is worth experiencing.

"Starnosed Mole", acrylic painting, portrait, politics, poetry, humanity, resist
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Starnosed Mole" is an acrylic painting with litho ink and charcoal on paper, measuring 36" high by 24" wide. It is one of 50 portraits that comprise Profiles in Democracy. Savage in their execution, they are nevertheless heartfelt expressions from the artist – politically, socially, culturally – in some cases featuring text and language in the portrait. In this case, one individual musters faith and fortitude to press on, fight on. The words at top read: "Audacity – said the mole – shall root that mountain down."
From Dale Williams: "Profiles in Democracy is a group of 50 portraits completed in 2019. They are an expression of sorrow at the fracturing ideals that our country now teeters upon. The portraits are mostly – not exclusively – imaginary: a populace viewed from the inside out, people that someone like our current president might call losers.

Figurehead
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
In the days when every seaport had its figurehead to show, this same day calls for free, I must go save these countrymen, my honorable crew if they still breathe.
I must sail deep down north again, with strong men and skillful hands.
All I ask this day is dread naught and a star to steer her as the people blare for salvaging;
And all I ask again is a windy day and a friendly storm at night,
And a sweet dream with my shipment when the long cruise is over.

"Idiot Wind, Sweet Reason", acrylic painting, duality, politics, humanity
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Idiot Wind, Sweet Reason" is an acrylic painting on canvas measuring 24" high by 36" wide. Again cutting to the quick, Dale Williams posits our best and worst instincts as a duality, and that duality as a confrontation. There's nowhere to hide in any of William's paintings, that's part of the charge coming off his canvases. That's particularly true with this painting – as hideous as these personnages may be in Idiot Wind and Sweet Reason, we recognize their struggle for grace.
Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos and Disasters of War, and the personal mythologizing of the late paintings of Philip Guston. Such works echo throughout Williams social surrealist re-visioning." – George Del Barrio, Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY
