William Rankin McLure IV.
William McLure is a self-taught artist widely known for his large scale, abstract paintings. His art is the result of unique methods developed through a natural curiosity, and a personal aesthetic cultivated by his background in interior design. He works with a variety of materials, including oil paint, charcoal, foam board, found objects, and plaster. William and his work have been featured in a multitude of publications including Architectural digest, Elle Decor, Coveteur, Gallery Magazine, House Beautiful, Chairish, Domino, and Southern Living.
He spends most of his days creating and entertaining in his bright and spacious studio located in Birmingham, AL. Otherwise, he enjoys retreating to his farm on the outskirts of town where he cares for an ever-growing assortment of animals - a callback to his roots growing up in the rural south.
