Featuring Isaac Duncan III, Ajene Cetawayo Williams, Richard Hunt, and Albert LaVergne, the exhibition highlights how material, form, and concept intersect to reflect both personal and collective histories.

The works on view range from bold abstraction to nuanced representation, moving between politically engaged statements and more meditative explorations of gesture and form. Across sculpture and painting, the exhibition demonstrates the breadth and complexity of Black artistic expression.

By bringing together artists from two generations, the exhibition invites consideration of how ideas, techniques, and perspectives evolve while remaining grounded in cultural experience and artistic inquiry. Throughout, material and process serve as key points of connection, shaping how artists engage identity, history, and culture.



]]> Artists in Dialogue: Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams https://krasl.org/event/artists-in-dialogue-isaac-duncan-iii-and-ajene-cetawayo-williams/ Sat, 16 May 2026 16:00:00 +0000 https://krasl.org/?post_type=tribe_events&p=22214 Join artists Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams to learn more about their exhibition: Sculpture in the Direct Method.
Spanning generations of artistic practice, Sculpture in the Direct Method explores how artists engage abstraction, representation, and material process as interconnected and evolving strategies. The featured artists employ a range of visual languages, from gestural and improvisational approaches to more structured and symbolic forms, reflecting the breadth of contemporary and modern Black artistic practice.
At the center of the exhibition is the direct method of metal sculpture, in which materials are cut, bent, and welded together to build form. This process allows for immediacy and revision, positioning material as an active and responsive element in the development of each work. Rather than adhering to predetermined outcomes, artists working in this way often allow form to emerge through interaction with their materials.
Sculpture in the Direct Method is on view through August 9th.
