Justin Williams is a Memphis-based painter hailing from Jackson, Tennessee. A self-taught artist, working primarily in acrylic and gouache, Justin uses paint to explore themes of community, intimacy, and vulnerability. His subject matter centers on traditional portraiture and dynamic scenes from concerts, performances, and dance. This past December, his debut solo show STAGE, a visual exploration of the Memphis’ DIY music scene, was exhibited at Ugly Art Co. He holds a B.A. in English and French from Tennessee Technology University and a Ph.D in Literary and Cultural Studies from the University of Memphis.
