"We can until we can't. Don't settle for what you want. Be open to what you're ready for," emphasized James Williams III, a remarkable interdisciplinary artist dedicated to the pursuit of abstraction within his design practice. Having made the bold decision to relocate to Atlanta in 2018, Williams fully embraced abstraction as his primary artistic style, determined to break free from the constraints of representation and push the boundaries of form, mood, and tone.
Recently, in a compelling conversation with fellow artist Antonio Knoxx, Williams delved into the profound concept of art as an expression, exploring the ways in which it serves as a powerful medium to convey complex thoughts and emotions.

Intriguingly, amidst this dialogue, Williams unveiled his upcoming solo exhibition titled "Many Moons," a captivating showcase of his latest works encompassing exquisite drawings, breathtaking paintings, thought-provoking installations, and a mesmerizing performance.
Through these artistic mediums, Williams aims to encapsulate ancestral themes rooted in resilience, navigation, and perseverance, inviting viewers to embark on an awe-inspiring journey that transcends time and space, evoking a deep sense of introspection and connection with our shared human experience.
