 William Ingham
graduated from the University of Washington's School of Art with a
Master of Fine Arts Degree in 1972. Over his 36 year career, his
work has been exhibited at leading Seattle art galleries, including
the Gordon Woodside/John Braseth Gallery, Foster White, Dootson
Calderhead, and Polly Friedlander galleries.
Ingham's paintings are in over 40 corporate settings,
and numerous private art and museum collections, including the
Seattle Art Museum, Whatcom County Museum of History and Art, the
Tacoma Art Museum and the Colby College Museum of Art. He has been a
visiting teacher at the University of Washington, serves on its
School Of Art advisory board and lectured at the Colby College
Museum of Art as well as a former trustee of Cornish College of the
Arts. He has been a regular contributor of art to PONCHO and other
charitable organizations in the Northwest.
For his show at the Colby
College Museum of Art's Davis Gallery, William Ingham was described
as follows:
"The Seattle born artist is known for his fusion of
bicoastal influences and loose Abstract Expressionist painting.
Drawing from multiple movements including New York School and
Minimalism, the artist maintains the autonomy of his paintings and
the refusal of immediately recognizable imagery. Rich in color and
sweeping movement, Ingham creates paintings that are at once
dreamlike and organic. Large canvasses and concentrated hues further
Ingham's exploration of scale, stroke and line, resulting in lavish
and complex paintings that are carefully and deliberately produced." |
