EXHIBIT DATES: March 29 to April 29, 2023 Boop-Oop-a-Doop: A Visual Voice Of the African American Diaspora by Charles Williams Jr. The ACA is proud to present an exhibition by artist Charles Williams Jr., entitled Boop-Oop-a-Doop: A Visual Voice of the African American Diaspora. The exhibition will run from March 29 to April 29, 2023, Charles Williams Jr. is a self-taught artist from Woodridge, IL who has been painting for over ten years. This exhibition, Boop-Oop-a-Doop, is Williams' homage to African descendants’ culture, history, fashion, resources, and overall beauty and style. Williams' main muse and source of inspiration is none other than the popular iconic character Betty Boop. By deftly weaving abstraction and figuration with sharp brush strokes, Williams explores the aesthetic of pop art, and incorporates other popular culture cartoon figures such as SpongeBob and the Pink Panther to convey a message of black beauty, brilliance, resilience, love, and hope for the future. "We are delighted to host Charles Williams Jr.’s first solo show," said Julie Mars, Director of Communications at Addison Center for the Arts. "He adds a joyous African American perspective to the pop art movement pioneered by Andy Warhol and others. We are excited to offer Williams’ work as an introduction to the cultural happenings surrounding Warhol 2023 at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art this year.” Don't miss this opportunity to experience Boop-Oop-a-Doop at the Addison Center for the Arts. |
The ACA and Addison are participating in the DuPage Pop Art Challenge! We've asked four notable Addison residents to allow us to celebrate them as Warhol icons. Watch this space for exciting Warhol 2023 Event updates!
