Williams uses Pointillism, acid-electric colors, distorted perspectives, and visionary subject matter. In lieu of portraits of Breton peasant women or views of the artist&#8217;s bedroom,  Williams offers a tiny bearded face emerging from a stick of deodorant, and an  anthropomorphic Heineken bottle writhing on a tropical deck. There&#8217;s another crucial distinction between Williams and the Post-Impressionists: there&#8217;s little anxiety here. The world, shown through his paintbrush, is just happily and wildly weird.
