KEVIN A. WILLIAMS
Kevin A. Williams, whose parents were both born and raised in Memphis, has become an iconic figure in Black art and culture. Beginning his professional journey at the remarkable age of 16, Williams has spent the last four decades creating some of the most recognizable and influential images in the Black community.
This exhibition not only celebrates Williams’ incredible career but also serves as a tribute to the deep-rooted history and artistic legacy of Memphis.
Williams has been hailed a modern-day Norman Rockwell for Black America - except his paintings don't just charm, they stir the soul. Where Rockwell captured quaint Americana, Williams delivers raw, unapologetic elegance, spotlighting the beauty, resilience, and complexities of African-American life throughout history.
With a career spanning more than 40 years, Williams‘ work blends realism with rich, emotional storytelling, making him one of today’s living masters, a painter who immortalizes everyday heroes with a brush as bold as his vision. If Rockwell chronicled America's ideal, Williams reminds us who built it.

RECLAIMED
IIn Reclaimed, Kevin A. Williams paints a young Black girl whose very presence defies centuries of erasure. Her hair, unapologetically full and untamed, signals a quiet rebellion against the tyranny of assimilation—a refusal to conform to a standard never meant for her. She holds an artifact from the Benin Empire, a piece of her history long stolen but never forgotten. Her gaze, steady and confident, and her flowing white dress speak of royalty that transcends time and circumstance. To her, this is no act of reclamation, but a reminder of what has always been hers. The energy in this painting is rooted in self-awareness, a knowing that to reclaim is not to recover, but to affirm what was never lost—identity, pride, and power.
