Local artist Marc Burnett presents a collection of his works in the Clayton Center for the Arts’ DENSO and La Dolce Vita galleries.
Marc Burnett’s remarkable mastery of color seeps through his original paintings of the past century of African American life. The fine-inked lines mixed with broad watercolor and oil paint strokes define his style. The subjects, often personalities and memories from Burnett’s predominately African American neighborhood in the foothills of East Tennessee, are characterized by blank faces; however, Burnett’s ability to capture movement and mannerisms in the physique of his subjects clearly identifies each personality.
