About the event
Spanning the 1950s to the 1980s, the exhibition features works from Williams’ seminal Olmec-Maya and Shostakovich series, bold, expressive paintings inspired by ancient Mesoamerican cultures and classical music. With influences from Abstract Expressionism and a lifelong engagement with the environment and identity, Williams’ art resists easy categorisation while offering profound insight into diasporic experience and visionary creativity.
