Counterfeit Gaze

Acrylic Paint Over Currency Print 39" x 39" - In this work, a fragmented portrait is built through bold color, geometric structure, and layered currency, creating a face that feels both constructed and fluid. The composition moves between viewpoints, challenging the idea of a fixed identity while holding a direct, confident gaze. Printed money beneath the surface reinforces Arthur J. Williams Jr.’s ongoing exploration of perception, authorship, and value.
