Samuel O. Williams

 

The majority of my works are vertical in format, thus implies upward mobility, strength, support and spirituality.  I strive to be the best I that I can be, taking the high road; seeking what is right and just as I acknowledge and respect diversity.  Constantly striving for self improvement as I move forward as in Vertical Progressions. We are the benefactors of those who suffer, bleed and died so that we could experience a better life than what had to endure.  Our forefathers have earned our respect and aspirations as is depicted in Ancestral Reverence. The word Profiles  demands my attention and causes me to focus on the issues at hand.  As you observe this work, (Profiles) you may first notice four Young Black Males, then perhaps you notice the color scheme, textures and the composition.  I want you to notice what is on the Profiles.  These are the names of African American Artists who because of their dedication were able to profile their works and contributions.  Emancipate your mind and experience the journey.
