'I was terrified': British pop star Robbie Williams (robbiewilliams) on stepping out of his comfort zone to show his paintings to the world:
. The large-scale paintings on polystyrene feature detailed figures that look like a cross between whimsical cartoon faces or secret codes written in white brushstrokes against a black background. The works, which are available through private sale at Sotheby’s, are the fruits of five years of labor, according to the artistic duo.
The pair first met when Godrich, an established interior architect, designed the pop star’s home in London 10 years ago. “We creatively clicked. We developed our technique and we learned to work together,” Godrich said. The pair worked on about 10 paintings at the same time, “so Rob can be down there, and I can be there—sometimes next to each other,” he added. “The fact that this is made on polystyrene explains why we get that amazing, smoking texture.
“Me moving in from the pop world to do art… I put a lot into whimsy,” Williams said. “It’s what I’m about, what I wanna be, and I know the art world is a very serious world. But that’s not me, and that is not what we are. If you don’t look at it and think of the 80s cartoons, or how it would feel to walk straight into a cartoon, you kind of miss the point.
