About the Item

Carl Joe Williams Unc, Charlie “Tree” Milton Eating Red Beans and Rice 2022 Painting and collage on mattress 74 x 52 inches Carl Joseph Williams was born in Uptown New Orleans (b.1970). Art was his first love. At fourteen he was accepted into The New Orleans Center for Creative Art (NOCCA) where he received his formal training. Upon completing high school, Williams continued his studies at the Atlanta College of Art. In Atlanta, he flourished in his craft; graduating in 1994, produced solo exhibitions, participated in several group exhibitions and completed several public art projects. Williams’ work has been displayed in several venues throughout the United States, including Journeys, an installation at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and his Sculptural Trees installation, on the median of Veterans Boulevard. In 2013, Williams had a solo exhibition at the George Ohr Museum in Biloxi, MS and was a recipient of the Joan Mitchell NOLA Studio Artist Residence Program, LA. He was selected to participate in the 2014 Crystal Bridges State of the Art Discovering exhibition. His work is included in the collections of the City of Atlanta, GA; Crystal Bridges Museum of Art; Disney Corporation, GA; Department of Aviation, GA; the City of New Orleans, among others. ‘My work has evolved into a multiplicity of visions, directions, and intuitive gestures. The paintings, installations, and sculptures I create are a product of recalled images of cumulative life experiences. Various forms of music, as well as the rhythm of people, and places assist in the creating and molding of the character of my work. I see my art and music as extensions of each other. I often use music as a model by incorporating its structure, rhythms, and dynamics elements into each piece; emerging into a new realm of experience. Objects are also a very important part of the creation and aesthetic of my art. Found objects are a continuum of a narrative flowing through the work, becoming elements of a story intricately woven into a work of art, in order to create a new meaning and new context, in an attempt to display in the layers the images interrelationship of cosmic forces and every-day. This search for universality continues to drive and inform my work. Aesthetics of the work involves many complex color combinations and rhythmic patterns inspired by geometric patterns found in nature. Rhythms and harmonies converge into a symphony of colors that work together to create a powerful visual experience. It is my vision to create pieces that bring a since of intrigue, color and excitement while addressing the physiological and historical concerns of everyday people.” – Carl Joe Williams
