About

Founded in 2019 in the heart of Wynwood district in Miami, FL, John William Gallery evolved from an experimental art lab and fixture in the community into a more dynamic venture that celebrates collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and rich cultural heritage. Now with two locations, Boca Raton, FL and Wilmington, DE, John William Gallery actively partners with local organizations to generate exhibition opportunities for our artists to engage the community.

John William Gallery exhibits, represents, and promotes artists who hold studios in Ukraine, Argentina, Korea, China, Europe, and the United States and whose work displays the current pulse of contemporary avant garde being created across the globe. Through its diversity of artists and art praxis, John William Gallery strives to resonate with the human condition by showing work that connects the viewer to the imagination of the artists.

Our professionally curated exhibition program provides access to innovative work that confronts social issues that investigates personal narratives, and that explores the time-honored fundamentals of art and design.

Believing that making and responding to the arts are vital for human flourishing, our exhibition programs are tailored to appeal to both seasoned and emerging collectors, while our education programs serve the local community and appeal to students of all ages.

Monique Rollins Dancing Line
A master contemporary painter, Rollins is inspired by the colors of the Venetian renaissance. Lush forms and subdued colors create the environment for an uncompromising visual document of her journeys and experiences, her interest in human emotion, and allusions to place.

Alternate Text

Monique Rollins Summer Vibes
Abstraction is the visual language the artist uses to express her individual voice and spiritual quest. Flowing swirls of neutral colors, organic shapes, and lines move the eye throughout the picture plane. The asymmetrically balanced organic forms allude to transcendent subconsciousness and an axiomatic eruption of energy in reserve.
