ABOUT
Join us for our second session of “Palatable Dialogues,” an engaging online series of conversations delving into crucial topics of racism, social justice, and human rights through the lens of art. In this session, we are honored to feature artist Will Porter, whose powerful artwork confronts and addresses these pressing issues.
Palette-Able Dialogue: Restoring Balance will revolve around Will Porter’s thought-provoking painting titled ‘Restoring Balance’ a piece that encapsulates profound meanings and messages regarding societal dynamics especially during the holiday season. Will Porter will lead the discussion, providing insights into the inspirations, intentions, and symbolism embedded within the artwork.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“I create artwork aimed at agitating conformist thought. I love to have discussions surrounding art and I find it easier to do so once you’ve aroused someone’s emotions by agitating or disrupting their normal way of thinking. My art and myself are original in that we work in tandem, similar to a Venus Fly Trap. The art attracts viewers, then my description of the piece tends to hold people longer than the aesthetic would on its own.” – Will Porter
