Birmingham Magazine!
Our own Chris Clark was chosen to

is nationally known for his spirit sticks, painted quilts, and
whimsical furniture. In Chris' hands, common items are
effortlessly transformed into beautiful works of art. Take a look
at his work!

Outsider Artists have a unique
perspective on the art that they create. Self-taught artists tend to make bold
statements with their work and are not known for subtlety. Self-taught Artists like Bernice Sims do not beat around the bush, they show
you exactly what they want you to see. Many Outsider Artists toil away in
obscurity, gaining little recognition until after their death. Some artists
like Mose Tolliver
and Jimmie
Lee Sudduth, are successful during their own lifetime.

This incredible niche can be
likened to Rock and Roll, Delta Blues, or Country music in that
like these branches of music, the artists are self-taught and
innovative. Indeed, many works by Mose Tolliver and Jimmie Lee
Sudduth hang in Restaurants and juke joints throughout the USA.
The House of Blues chain is decorated almost exclusively with
Outsider Art.
