Kare’ Williams is an artist born and raised in Southeast, Washington DC. His work explores the ideas of narrative and storytelling through the mediums of painting, video, and sculpture. His work is characterized by the normality of the low and middle class in which identity plays an important role as an African American male. By taking daily life as subject matter, he provides commentary on the everyday aesthetic of the middle class and African American culture. He starts every painting with a reflection of himself, generating images using methods of painting and collage that responds to a variety of social and visual systems. Each painting acts as a short story, each clue is placed precisely to draw the viewer closer into the narrative. The viewer must search for the story hidden behind the four sides of the canvas. After earning his BFA in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design, Karé has resided in Chicago. Exhibiting recently at Cleo Project Space in Savannah, as well as Gallery 2424, 521 Art Lounge, and a thesis show in Savannah. His work has also been featured in Suboart Magazine in their April issue for emerging artists and numerous private collections throughout the United States such as the Fulton County Public Art Fund and the American Heart Association.
