Event: RLC Gallery Transcending Dimensions Opening Day

The Gallery Program of the School of CAED (Creative Arts, Entertainment, and Design) at Dallas College presents "Transcending Dimensions"; a solo exhibition featuring work by Dallas College alumnus artist, Keith Williams.

This body of work features figure and nature based drawings and paintings deconstructed to emphasize movement and tension. Williams’ works are simple, yet complex in execution, creating a visual complexity in composition, along with a tension in viewership between the images and the viewer. A message from the artist:

“This exhibition, Transcending Dimensions, deals with figures and environments. I incorporate images of people, animals, and landscapes to create visual narratives. The ideas: progression, time, and movement influence my work. I feel that art should possess skill as well as a reason. When I create art I think about deconstructing form. I paint like a sculptor. By thinking in the round, I am able to create a complex composition. I consider the different planes in space. The concept of breaking form down and reconfiguring it is integral to my drawing and painting. Psychological tension is an important factor in my painting and drawing that helps engage the viewer. The viewer should question what is going in my artwork. By creating in a surrealist fashion my pieces can change and layer. There is a certain autonomy that occurs. The concept of the dream state and the unconscious mind is very important. By viewing my work collectively, a greater plot arises. Cubist and surrealist notions heavily influence me.”
