Canvas To Cork: Kevin A. Williams ‘WAK’

Connect Gallery is proud to announce its solo exhibition, “Then and Now,” featuring the works of renowned artist Kevin A. Williams, also known as WAK. This highly anticipated show marks Williams’ first solo exhibition in Chicago, showcasing his masterful journey through four decades of capturing the essence of Black culture.  “Then and Now” is a testament to Williams’ remarkable career, which began on Chicago’s Southside. From his early days as a young artist with a vision to create meaningful work to his current status as a living master, Williams’ art has consistently pierced the soul with raw, unbridled elegance. Join them on Saturday, Nov 25 for an engaging artist talk with WAK.

“Kevin A. Williams is an American treasure,” says Gallery Director Rob McKay. “His work not only celebrates the beauty and resilience of African-American life but also challenges us to confront the untold stories of our shared history.”
