Suzette and A Fig for Richard
Medium: Watercolor
Art of Marlon
Find the “light of black” with artist, educator, and writer, Marlon Howard Banks, at the online gallery, Art of Marlon.
His Gesclee prints capture every shade of original acrylic, oil and watercolor paintings to become your conversation piece.
He pays homage to an African Diaspora of storytelling traditions, combined with an awareness of America’s unperfected melting pot, to create his own self defined style, Forward and Black. And his use of the figure, in all shades, with skills for representation, provide agency to create his own definition of black.
It’s an honor for Banks to use that tradition and experience to painterly compose what he calls a dance for the eye. Or in other words, a good story.
All works are available as Giclee prints.
Soul Born
Medium: Prismacolor
Artist's Background
Wisconsin artist, educator, and writer, Marlon Howard Banks has been involved in the arts, since the first hearing of a folktale written for him by a family member. Relatives were so engaged in music, writing, painting and dance, there was no need to delineate the music sung in church from the music and other arts created at home.
