"This is the type art that your auntie would hang in her back room. You know, the room with the plastic on the couch?"

Known as CadillAK Slim, A'Keara "AK" Ragin brings an old-school sensibility to a bold, contemporary practice. Born and raised in Georgia, she channels the abstract, the ghetto fabulous, and the unmistakably Southern into every canvas.

Her paintings are more than compositions, they're visions made visible: manifestations, dreams, and pieces of herself translated directly onto the surface. To collect AK's work is to bring home a piece of that unfiltered, deeply personal world.
