Line 14: \| occupation = Artist }} '''Philemona Williamson''' (b.born 1951) is a well-known artist from [[New York City]]. ==Biography== Line 39: Her work is postmodernist, figurative art in which she explores her private identity. She has said, "I do not make 'black art'. If my work bridges racial gaps, it is because I am sharing a part of myself and I happen to be black. My paintings are about my fascination with color and shape."{{sfn\|Farrington\|2004\|p=323}} In her words, "My paintings are of pre-adolescent girls and boys, children on the cusp of adulthood. The figures struggle to balance their innocence and awkwardness with their ~~new found~~newfound sexuality. The figures are involved in their own drama when the observer discovers them; it is a surprise to both. The questions begin at this point…Who are these children? What are they doing and why? Ethnicity and gender are questioned."{{sfn\|Jersey Arts}} According to art essayist Nina Felshin, "Life, in Philemona Williamson's paintings, appears to be a balancing act in which there are two sides to every coin and the action intentionally raises more questions than it answers."
