Share the experience of this diverse and surprising country though Thierry’s ethereal photographic works! (Sunday, April 3 through June, 2022)

Cornelius Carter
Taking inspiration from multiple traditions, Cornelius weaves together imagery from history, mythology, childhood, and life experience to create paintings that are thought-provoking, captivating, and beautiful. He often incorporates historical elements and classical styling, but from his own cultural perspective. People and their relationships are a central theme in his work.

Work in Progress is a virtual exhibit presented by Art 84 and Fisterra Projects that features the art of Austin artist Cornelius Carter that captures the struggle and glory of the African-American experience along with the artist’s faith in the American dream of equality and opportunity for all. We share that faith, and we support all the people who are working so hard today to make the dream a reality.
