The Montgomery Art Guild is excited to announce William Downs as our juror for the 55th Montgomery Art Guild Regions Bank exhibit.
William Downs was born in Greenville, South Carolina. He is based in Atlanta, Georgia. He works in a range of medium, including drawing, painting and installation.
Downs received a BFA in painting and printmaking from the Atlanta College of Art and Design and a multidisciplinary MFA from the Mount Royal School of Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
For Downs, “the line” is paradoxically fundamental and surreal, based on its infinite capabilities. His work expresses truth in common forms turned ambiguous, while his use of repetition distorts expectations of truth. Downs’ forms form, reform and deform the figure.
His work has been part of numerous national art touring exhibits, including Art AIDS America, curated by Rock Hushka and Jonathan Katz and in Black Pulp! curated by Mark Thomas Gibson and William Villalongo. His many solo shows include the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and the Grizzly Grizzly Gallery in Philadelphia. Among his awards are Artadia and the MOCA GA Working Artist Project.
