Infected By Art Book - Volume 7

William T Erickson IV (aka Willie T IV or Bill) is a self-taught artist known to friends for his inexplicable and unusual style and subject. His works share the unsettling expressionistic flares of Salvador Dali and the animations of Andy Warhol. Bill’s art medium is charcoals and colored pastels on large 26” x 32” paper.
     Although Bill has drawn casually off and on most of his life, he didn’t start concentrating on this craft until 2017 when he bought his first easel and started to document his works. 
       In 2018, he was selected as finalist to the BWAC Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalitions International Exhibition of Album Cover Artwork, and the Fusion Arts (Artsy.Net Gallery Affiliate) 2nd Annual Black and White Art Exhibition; and the Colors of Humanity Art Gallery. He received Special Merit in the Light-Space-Times July exhibit; Honorable Mention on the J Mane Gallery “Mind and Body” Exhibit; fourth place in the August-2018 Contemporary Online Gallery “All-Abstraction” Exhibit, and finalist in the North Carolina Pastel Society’s September-2018 All-Color Exhibit.

Williams states that he strives for his works to “To capture the eye, turn the head, and then to stir the mind. If you don’t get my art in the first three seconds, you don’t get it at all”
      Born in New Jersey, Bill now resides in Jacksonville, Florida where he is a full-time Construction Management Executive
