Occupation |
Joe Parrott is a talented veteran artist specializing in urban and suburban scenes of Knoxville. Although entirely self-taught, he is a student of art history and has also worked in the graphic arts industry for 43 years. Joe's compositions often feature deep spatial recession, rich paint textures, and bold contrasts in light and shadow. He is represented by River Gallery, Gallery 202, and The District Gallery. "I want my work to express the elation I feel when I see bright sunlight bouncing off a brick building; when I see sparkling reflections in a body of water; when I see a bright blue sky illuminating objects in a deep shadow. These things inspired me to paint. For me, it's all about the light and shadows." - Joe Parrott |
