Senon Williams is a lifelong visual artist and musician, and a Los Angeles native. Ranging in media from paintings on paper and canvas, to wood sculpture and assemblage. Senon explores poignant visualization of the inherent human struggle both ancient and contemporary. He finds space in the natural world, exposing stages of human evolution. His love of language play, sounds, textures, and associations of word and object often explore the triumphs and conflicts inherent in identity, history, and community. Senon’s search for truth leaves him amazed and baffled. Creating art is his meditation on meaning, or no meaning in the face of our turbulent existence. We are invited to support or defy multiple conclusions, how do we help and how do we hurt?

The written word and poetry is a consistent part of his practice. He has published two books: Hunted & Gathered (2017, Hamilton Press) and Words Don’t Mean Much (Hat & Beard Press, 2021), as well as multiple zines.

Senon’s work has been shown at Lauren Powell Projects (LA), PRJCTLA (LA), The Lodge (LA), Auxiliary Projects (NYC), Beyond The Streets, Southampton Arts Center (NY), One Eleven Gallery (Siem Reap) amongst many others.
