Black Creatives Meetup: Meet Us at the Gallery!

We're excited to explore the newest exhibition at UT Downtown Gallery with artist William Downs. Plan for an evening that includes an artist demo, full gallery walkthrough, community conversation & locally made refreshments! 

About the Artist:

William Downs’ artwork explores themes of ambiguity and distortion viewed through repetition and representation of the human body. His drawings reveal “feelings of anxiety, fear, joy, angst” or desire with compositions inspired by Cezanne that appear dream-like or otherworldly. He often depicts “people who train their bodies to do inhuman things like run a marathon or bend and contort their bodies,” in surreal-like, panoramic scenes. Multiple figures are layered with warped perspective, creating contrasting areas of compositional ambiguity and sharp focus.

Downs is part of an upcoming exhibition at UT Downtown Gallery. Click here for more information about the exhibition, events, and other opportunities to engage with the artist! This exhibition will be available…
