Artist Replete presents "Iwo Jima Science" from Chicago artist: Arthur J. Williams Jr. An iconic image recreated with a dimmed sheet of 2009 hundred dollar bills. The original six United States Marines, colored in red, white, and blue raising the U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Arthur J. Williams Jr. is a South Side Chicago native who gained notoriety as the counterfeiter who successfully replicated the 1996 hundred dollar bill, producing millions in fake currency before serving twelve years in federal prison.
During his incarceration, he taught himself to paint, transforming his past precision into a new creative discipline. Since his release, Williams has emerged as a full time artist whose work often incorporates printed U.S. currency, exploring themes of value, authenticity, and redemption. His exhibitions, including recent showcases at LondonHouse Chicago and Art Basel, reflect a continued evolution as he turns the art of replication into a study of transformation.
