It's When He First Broke
It's When He First Broke Off From the Other Guys"
oil, charcoal, crayon on canvas Framed
73 x 73" 2013-2016
After completing a very figurative show at Karl Hutter Gallery in April 2016, while going through a rough time with losing close friend, Paul Tillotson to cancer, the new paintings are entitled "Skrapstractions: The Comedy Series"
"Paul always wanted to have fun. The seriousness and work ethic came through everytime he sat down at any piano. I wanted these paintings to reflect that passion and love. I wanted to try and laugh and celebrate life in these new works. If the paintings at Karl's Gallery were about the direction of the country and Pre Election craziness, these paintings were just about trying to have fun, while returning to something that was visceral and based on the subconscious through Abstraction."

Not Quite There
oil, crayon, acyrlic, pencil, collage, paper on canvas
72 x 54" 2016
This painting was created on a blank 6ft 1961 Miriam Shapiro canvas given to William by Framer Daniel Meeks and Eric Firestone Gallery, who represents the estate of Shapiro, a leading painter of the feminist movement in the 60s, and 70s.
"I love Eric's gallery. I was floored and humbled. Although I didnt know a lot about her work, I knew her name. Now that I saw quite a few paintings, I think she is brilliant. I'm very moved by her consistency through an amazing versatility and hand. She tackled some pretty diverse themes in her long career. And did them all so well. I'd say she is a major painter that hopefully people will now begin to realize her impact.
I wanted to do something great on this canvas. This is what I came up with. After sitting looking at a blank canvas for weeks. I kind of thought it would take years and I'd never finish it. It would be some epic Three Musicians type painting. But this happened. I really like it, but not sure it's good. I'm not sure about any of them, but I like the fun and freedom in these new pieces."

Too Much of a Thing
oil, collage, pencil, crayon, collage, paper on canvas
60 x 54 " 1999- finished in 2016
Combining many elements, commentary on Y2K, the historic ‘08 Obama Election, the contemporary art markets , auctions, and ranting rhetoric, this piece reveals a complexity based in a sort of literal cubism adding mystery to what appears to be surface writing. It’s both a reaction to graffiti and reflection on the history of writing in Art. The arrangement of the words are integrated into the painting for color, shape and structure used as the building blocks for composition similar to a violin in cubism or Hans Hoffman blob of color. Striving to mix these idealisms together and create a language of originality and identity harboring a beatnik edge to the entire story.

This is my first Attempt at Genius
Oil, Acrylic, oil crayon, pencil on Canvas
63 x 50" 2013-2015
The painting is layered in metaphors and meaning again continuing a consistent theme in the artists language and storytelling. Quigley's canvases are sometimes painted as a novel and each section a chapter leading up to an end or reason for his choices. He had an idea to create a series called "the Explorers" Started in 2015 by adding portraits and biographies on top of existing abstract works. In this painting Italian Explorer, Christopher Columbus and James Watt, a Sottish Chemist and Engineer are the focus in this painting. He used their images as a metaphor for a point in his career where he is trying to hold onto past tendencies while attempting to challenge new direction and language in his creative process. Comparing the quest of an artist to an inventor or explorer. "I moved to the East end because I love DeKooning. His Yellows and Pallette came to life immediately. This painting is a reaction to the light in East Hampton."

In 17 (25) years Your Art Purchase Today and this painting can be worth more than your (kid) Home
oil on canvas 9x12" Unframed 1995-98
Around 1990 while painting in LA , he began to migrate artistically to an older generation of important conceptual artists that use language to make statements like Mike Kelley, Marc Chiat, Steve Hurd, Manuel Ocampo, Albert Oehlen, Julian Schnabel, Martin Kippenberger, Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, Allen Ruppersberg and Robert Rauschenberg, etc. Quigley started writing sarcastic, humorous comments about art and specifically his own work influenced by both art history and the Entertainment business. That theme has been consistent throughout all his work.

This painting again reflects the theme of nostalgia, and opportunity. We all have dreams when we are young to do something great. Memorabilia is like art, its an icon of the persons success. A baseball card or signed hockey stick is like a painting. People cherish it, collect it, hold it close like a memory.
"I painted Wayne Gretzky in 1994 or 95. I was given this hockey card after meeting him and his agent Michael Barnett through the great photographer Bill Livingston. We traded art for some money, my first apple computer, Hockey Jerseys etc. I even played pickup Hockey with Gretzky at Iceland his rink in LA. Time flies when you are doing what you love. "

It's a very Competitive Arena. Who's in the Competition Again?
2 Sided Freestanding Framed Sculpture 20 x16"
2 works on paper, oil, crayon, pencil, wood, cinder block standoil, oil
2 piece framed Sculpture on Wooden Stand
1998- finished in 2106
see Karl Hutter Gallery for more information and photos
This painting started in 1998 shows a strong sense of abstraction and color choice, collaged with a name brand business card placed either to almost validating the isolated journey of an abstract painter, or was it a visionary insight into the direction the art world was headed in the late 90s. Today even the most obscure artists of their day like Ad Reinhardt, Philip Guston, Clifford Still and Arshile Gorky are being sought after by major corporate collections and private equity firms.
In 1986 while in Graduate School Quigley worked summers as a assistant for painter Sheila Isham in Bridgehampton. He met Ralph Lifshitz at a cocktail party and sold him a long, narrow, abstract work on paper for $100. , not knowing Ralph's last name was also Lauren. It took nearly 20 years to meet Mr. Lauren again during an exhibition of his infamous car collection at the Boston MFA through one of Quigley's collectors Robert Beal. Beal and his brother Bruce have assisted in many philanthropic ventures in the Boston Art World, including developing a Contemporary wing at the MFA.

The Little Gem 2
Oil on canvas
14 x 16" Framed 2012-2015
First canvas started in East Hampton Studio. Worked on for 3 years.
"This may be one of my favorite and precious' pieces. After visiting the Phillips Collection in Washington DC 2014 and seeing Mondrian's beautiful little framed masterpiece gems behind glass., I decided to put all my favorite abstract paintings under glass as well. They kind of also remind me of Joseph Cornell, who is brilliant. The glass gives it a special reverence. I also kind of think this religious aspect of painting is kind of a dying quality in art. They are like homages to my heroes like Dekooning, Rauschenberg, Guston, Mondrian and also Vermeer. Schnabel made some great frames as well giving his work an Theatrical Ominous Presence that took the work to another and experience to another level. I love how he is always pushing his work beyond the banal."

This painting marks chlld-like commentary on the 9 or so portraits of President Lincoln he has painted. It is a strong example of the Skrappstraction concept by integrating his quick whit, bold graphic line into a personal piece of nostalgia and history.

The Resume
Oil, Acylic, Collage on 500 lb Velasquez paper
24 x 30" 2003-2012
"A girl gave me her Resume way back in 2004. When i called the number it was disconnected, so I used it in a painting. I was thinking of all the times we all make Resumes and are looking for something: work, a job, a break, a thrill. I think everything and effort you do, and the amount of work you put into something, whether you end up doing it or not has merit and meaning eventually. Work habit is almost as important as the work itself. In some cases more impressive."
