Elmhurst Artist Guild Gallery: Iconic Hoodie Series by Charles Williams, Jr.

The Elmhurst Artists' Guild presents Iconic Hoodie Series , a solo show featuring member, Charles Williams Jr. The opening reception is Friday, September 12th from 7:00-9:00 pm.

Charles, a self-taught artist who has been painting for over ten years, is also a member of the Naperville Art League Gallery, where he’s won several awards, including Honorable mention and Merit awards. Influenced by abstract, urban, pop, modern, contemporary, and street art as well as by artists, Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Picasso, his style incorporates a variety of mediums and utilizes vibrant colors, geometric shapes and abstract line-work to represent “the energy of life”. Much of his work is inspired and energized by a range of musical genres, such as Jazz, Gospel, R&B, Chill music, and Hip-Hop. Charles has a profound belief that “art is an intrinsic expression of your soul and the medium you choose to express who you are, and what you feel, is a God-given gift to be shared with the world”. Charles seeks to inspire and bring joy, peace, awareness, and love to the world through his art.
