Created in 2020. A male and female portrait in deep plums and indigo colors emerge from a brilliant gold background. The regal portraits have a spiritual quality and feel as though they have been unearthed from a different century, like a fresco created during the Renaissance. Christopher Adam Williams has been coined as “The Black Davinci” for superb realism and details. Williams is a current AICAD Fellow at Moore, teaching Illustration and Foundation classes. Born in Oakland, CA—a self-described Bay Area artist—Williams arrived in Philadelphia at the end of June 2022 to begin his time at Moore teaching in the Summer Art & Design Institute (SADI). Williams rose to nationwide prominence this past fall when several pieces of his artwork were featured on an episode of Showtime’s The L Word: Generation Q. His art can be found in several prominent private and public collections. The artist is actively exhibiting today. From a private collection. Dimensions: 30.25”h x 22”w 1.25”d (top painting, male portrait) x 30”h x 22”w x 1.25”d (bottom painting, female portrait). In very good condition.
