Kelly D. Williams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kelly D. Williams is an American artist and designer. Being born in an archetypal small town provided Williams with an intrinsic interest in art. Artistic invention & expression has been a key element in his art career, and the fact that Williams has been geographically disconnected from the lowbrow, outsider, and street art scene at large for most of his career has given him a unique view of what it means to be an artist. Upon closer study, it is easy to recognize the influence of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mike Giant and Mark Gonzales in Williams’ colorful collection of work. Williams' raw form of art has been exhibited in various galleries in New York City, Salt Lake City, Austin, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Japan and the United Kingdom. Williams work has also been featured in several international publications and independently published books. Williams currently continues to work as a graphic designer and gallery artist.
