Dathan Kane is a contemporary abstract painter and muralist currently based in Hampton Roads, Virginia. He received his BFA in Art & Design from Virginia State University in (2014) with a focus on illustration & painting.

His work is currently included in the collections of Dollar Tree, Work Programs Architects (WPA) at Assembly Norfolk VA , VMFA (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) as well as other institutional spaces. His first international exhibition took place at the Sichuan Contemporary Institute in China (2017). Kane was recently selected to be a muralist for the RVA Street Mural Festival (2022) in Richmond VA, Three Notchd “Leave Your Mark!” Mural Festival (2022) in Richmond VA and has exhibited with the Chrysler Museum (Glass Studio) Gallery in Norfolk VA (2022).

Meet Ray Johnson, one of the artists featured in our Black History Month Exhibit!

“As an artist, I aspire to create art that is meaningful and emotional. My art engages representation of black beauty, strength and perseverance. With the influences of artist like Dr. Fahamu Pecou, Patrick Dougher and Clayton Singleton, I try to capture the power in what it means to be “black”. I want all people to be able to connect and relate to my work. But I particularly hope that people of color gain pride through the positive representation of the black men and woman that I create.

In my work I like to use men and woman of color to express the topics of love, struggle and togetherness. With acrylic and oil, my paintings of random nameless figures are full of emotion that come to life on canvas.” – Ray Johnson
