PORTRAITS:  OUTSIDER ARTISTS
 

Mary T. Smith - Jimmy Lee Sudduth - Mose Tolliver - Jack Savitsky
MC 5¢ Jones - Justin McCarthy - Sybil Gibson - Joseph Hardin - Albert Freeman
Lonnie Holley - S.L. Jones - "Artist Chuckie" Williams -
Ted Gordon  - Henry Speller

This exhibit features portraits in diverse styles by fourteen outsider artists.  The paintings move from the elegant portraits of women by Sybil Gibson and bold caricatures of pop culture icons by "Artist Chuckie" Williams, to obsessive line drawings of male faces by Ted Gordon and subtly textured mud paintings by Jimmy Lee Sudduth.  In texts that accompany the exhibit, brief biographies paint portraits, as it were, of these remarkable artists themselves.  Please contact the gallery for a complete price list.
