The Power of Color: 
This exhibition highlights the work of three contemporary artists working in the Southeast-Kevin Cole, Sisavanh Phouthavong-Houghton, and Carl Joe Williams. These artists use bright and vivid colors to produce work that reflects their own experiences, some of which reveal darker aspects of humanity. Kevin Cole of Atlanta, Georgia, applies vibrant acrylics to twisting and curling forms. His works reveal the relationship between color and the music of the African-American community, and they often deal with traumatic events from our history and recent past. Tennessee artist Sisavanh Phouthavong-Houghton is one fo the first professional Lao-American visual artists and educators of her generation. Through rhythmic fragmentations and strong color contrasts in abstract compositions, she explores the process of remembering one's homeland while trying to connect with a new community as an immigrant. Carl Joe Williams uses abandoned materials found on the streets of New Orleans to create mixed media works that often include music and appropriated television clips. His work is inspired by the iconic American images and addresses social justice issues and human perception.
