Roger Williamson
is a visual artist residing and creating in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born in Loughborough, England, in 1947 and growing up in Coventry, he was inspired from an early age by the French Symbolist painters of late nineteenth century France. These artistic influences, along with his own esoteric upbringing and practical experiences of magick, mythology and dream control form the matrix—a collective oeuvre upon which his paintings and writings are an extension.
Williamson’s works belong to a “theater” of life; building upon classical myths and ancient themes they invite viewers into spheres of consciousness characterized by ethereal portraits and kaleidoscopic color palettes. His practice seeks to re-enliven mystery while revitalizing the senses through questioning reality. Using diverse creative media such as painting or writing books he endeavors to develop techniques that materialize the sensuous dreaming experience into language for the waking world.
Aspiring to reintroduce mystery back into human existence through creativity while encouraging artistic audiences towards “living effulgent lives invigorated from secretions of our subconscious”.
Williamson is also creator of Tarot of the Morning Star book and deck as well as author The Sun at Night. See more at RogerWilliamsonArt.com
