Billis Williams Gallery


Francis DiFronzo: Western Front

Mar 29, 2025 - Apr 26, 2025


DiFronzo’s highly detailed paintings depict imagined landscapes inspired by his travels through the California desert and memories of childhood road-trips in the family station wagon. His hauntingly beautiful paintings alternate between reality and the surreal as they present desolate and mysterious places reminiscent of the iconic American West. The paintings are meticulously painted and wander from familiar and mundane to the surreal.
