Williams began to experiment with digital techniques in 2009, leading him to revisit his Op style of the 1960s and 1970s.
He developed a new body of work combining digital processes with traditional painting techniques.
Works such as Solar Flare (2011), Centrifuge (2013) and Paragon (2013) create optical vibrations that would have been difficult to achieve before the advent of digital technology.
Parallels have been drawn between Williams' attitude to digital technology and the spirit of excitement, hope and innovation that informed his original Op works in the 1960s.
