About the Exhibition: Reflections is an exhibition of selected works by the late multi-disciplinary Fergus Falls artist Kirk Williams. This exhibition features a variety of Willams’ pastels, assemblages and ink drawings, which exemplify the surreal and whimsical nature of his work. Williams’ boundless creativity and passion for art-making are evident in his work, which he used to explore themes of beauty, love, fear and obsessions. Often feeling as if he were a fish out of water, Williams employed imagery of fish and water throughout his career. Bubbles are another common presence in his work, inspiring playfulness and joy. His unique way of seeing the world shines through in his assemblages, in which he carefully selected various antiques, reimagining them into exuberant new works of art. Kirk Williams had an incredible impact on so many in his community and beyond, and his legacy lives on as his dreamy and enchanting work invites the viewer to explore their own imaginations.
