Oil on canvas
Clifford Bailey (1969-)
Described as a "painter of the Roaring 20s with a modern twist," Clifford Bailey has developed an imaginative and highly individualized style of painting. From Bailey's portraits of musicians in fine-tailored suits to his sparse and dramatic street scenes, Bailey's work continues to be admired and acquired by collectors from around the world.
After graduating from New York's School of Visual Arts (SVA) in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Bailey returned to Florida and Miami's exploding South Beach night scene. There, he threw "one-night stand" exhibitions at bustling clubs and crowded pool halls, attracting the attention of local businesses and collectors who quickly snatched up his work, bringing him great exposure and promotion. Although now living in Los Angeles, Bailey remains a traveling artist; exhibiting his work in galleries, nightclubs and boutiques, as well as several private homes in cities such as Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
