Mission
The Harlem Fine Arts Show (HFAS) celebrates the multi-faceted African Diaspora by bringing together contemporary artists with a new growing class of collectors. The goal of facilitating this coming together is to showcase cultural ideas and raise awareness of the extraordinary body of work created by these international, national and local artists.

@DKDixonDesigns art is a language that speaks to the heart of the viewer. Through his work, he tells stories of history, dreams, music, and emotion, capturing not just the image of his subjects but to express who they are as David has come to know them. As a realist portrait artist working in oil, David Kevin Dixon infuses each brushstroke with the energy of the subjects conveyed — be it joyful drumming on a djembe or soulful strumming on an upright bass, jazz is in there informing each brushstroke. His creative process is deeply influenced by music, and in pieces like ‘Synesthesia,’ it’s the music itself that moves his hands across the canvas, expressing itself through light, color, and movement.
@DKDixonDesigns is also a mixed media artist, layering West African textiles—Ghanaian kente cloth, Mali mud cloth, Moroccan scarves, and Nigerian blankets—the basis of this latest expression of my artistic vision. These materials tell stories of African American origins and his Bronx upbringing. As a documentarian, David's art reflects his travels across Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, capturing the beauty of these cultures in each piece. This abstract surrealism inspires new worlds and evokes dreams, bursting with color and energy."
