MICHAEL BANKS Outsider FOLK ART PAINTING 11.75 x 24 ALABAMA HAND MARBLE BALL
FOLK ART HAND and MARBLE BALL. This piece exemplifies the emotion and talents of Mr. Banks, featuring some tar/paint drizzling underneath the black paint for texture, and of course MICHAEL’S signature razor etchings.. Vibrant colors, which my camera did NOT capture well. BIO: Michael has won many honors with his work which has been exhibited in New York, Denver, and Atlanta. The Hurn Museum in Savannah, Georgia presented a One-Man exhibition of his work in 2005 and has a number of his works in their permanent collection. Articles featuring his work have appeared in Southern Living magazine (August 2006) and Better Homes and Gardens (August 2006). A review of his Hurn exhibition in the Savannah Morning News stated, “Michael Banks: Outsider Artist” offers Savannah’s most rewarding and penetrating solo show in recent memory. As this unforgettable exhibit clearly indicates, Banks is one outsider artist who has certainly earned the right to be on the inside. Michael Banks continues painting full time. He states, I still experiment, combining both found objects as well as artist materials into my work. Every day I try to create. Painting is my life.
