More Info...
Kumasi, Ghana native Prince Duncan-Williams relocated to the United States in 1982. After studying architectural engineering at Takoradi Polytechnic, he joined a family tradition of silk art creations. Nearly 4 decades in the making, Prince Duncan-Williams has perfected this art carried down from generations to create breathtaking large scale masterpieces that combine African and American Culture. Prince is most inspired by Jazz Music, Rhythm, Harmony, Native Art and the great Pablo Picasso. The musical influence is apparent in his pieces from the harmonious juxtaposition of colors and shapes creating a melody of color, texture and perfectly balanced shapes. It is amazing that Prince Duncan-Williams has had no formal art training, it must be in his blood, handed down from generations of other family members.
Silk art creation is a unique, laborious, and complicated process in which a blended silk and rayon thread is arranged by hand and glued in rows. The rows of thread, work around in a spiral and every so often, changing directions, creating facets, patterns, and depth. These contrasting flows of colorful thread enhance the texture and mood of each dazzling image, creating a truly unique art form unto itself. There is no stitching involved in silk art creation; every piece is done entirely by hand, making each an original. Depending on the size, a single silk art creation requires 30 to over 320 hours of meticulous labor.
Prince Duncan-Williams has displayed his work across the nation at such esteemed galleries as the Getman Gallery in both their Venetian and The Fashion Show Mall locations. He has also displayed his work at The Time Gallery and The Edge Contemporary Gallery. Prince travels the nation bringing his masterpieces to fine art shows across the globe and has garnered numerous awards and accolades. His work continues to be admired by collectors from around the world.
