Join the Sordoni Art Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 4:45 pm for Memories and Inspiration’s first Art in Context Lecture featuring Charles Edward Williams.
Charles Williams is one of the featured artists in Memories and Inspiration and a contemporary visual artist from Georgetown, SC. Creating compelling imagery in oils, video/film, and sound installations, Williams’s work investigates current, historical cultural events related to racism, and to suggestive stereotypes formed within individuals. His works define self–representation of human emotive responses that lie within cultural identity, and reveal tension to expose the complexities within our sociopolitical environments. Through his visions, we are encouraged to engage in self-examination, question false boundaries that separate us, and view the inner connectedness of our common existence.
His work can be found in the Knoxville Museum of Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, Gibbes Museum of Art, and the Myrtle Beach Museum. He currently serves as an Endowed Faculty CHair and Associate Professor of Painting and Drawing at North Carolina Central University.
