“Fares by making his means a part of his message, uses geometry to reflect our relationship to the outside world. His work’s self-referential nature situates it relative to the real (as a thing), the social (as intertextual), and the philosophical (a meditation between perception and cognition).”

— Saul Ostrow (2019), art critic and artist, NY. —

“Fares has been recognized as a leading figure of a type of geometric abstraction that has conceptual overtones… Be forewarned; there’s no sex, no celebrities, no neoprene, just the inquiry into the beauty of paint, color, form, line, and geometry.”

— James Kalm, By NY ARTS International Edition —

“William Fares paintings propose a reconciliation of two properties usually seen apart… Fares unites linear structure with physically evident fracture… His halved forms and right-angled triangles are descriptive.”

— Lawrence Alloway in The Nation —
