Fabian Williams is a visual and performance artist whose work explores themes of liberation, innovation, and joy despite systemic racism and oppressive forces at play in Black American life. Fayetteville, NC-born and Atlanta-based, Williams employs a broad scope of source material—commercial illustration, classic portraiture, hip hop, and civil rights iconography—to directly confront issues of race and society’s consumption and appropriation of every facet of Black culture.
Fabian has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, L.A. Times, New York Times, Playboy, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, SB Nation, Bloomberg, The Root, and various media outlets for his work and activism. Before he became a full-time artist, he worked in the advertising industry for such brands as Nike, American Express, Pennzoil, and Verizon where he learned the dark arts of persuasion. He co-created the #Kaeperbowl mural campaign during Super Bowl 53 and is currently involved in the Big Facts Small Acts campaign.
