Didier William

[2][3][4] His work incorporates traditions in oil painting, acrylic, collage and printmaking to comment on intersections of identity and culture.

[7] He grew up in Miami, Florida, and received his BFA in painting from The Maryland Institute College of Art.

[2][3][4] In the fall 2019, Didier was appointed Assistant Professor in Expanded Print at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, NJ.

His works embrace traditional conventions of painting in their size and planarity, but integrate collage and mixed media to reflect to layers on meaning in each piece.

Didier's exploration of the gaze, Haitian Voudou, history, folklore, and identity is expressed through works that depict human figures.

[1][6] His Curtains, Stages, Shadows series (2017-2018) was in part inspired by events surrounding Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager who was shot to death in 2012.
