Taurus Burns has been making his mark on the art world ever since moving to Detroit in 1998 to attend the College for Creative Studies. Known for his prolific output, his work has evolved from traditional landscape and portrait painting into powerful introspections on race and society. Of Taurus’s work, Vince Carducci- a CCS dean who founded the online Motown Review of Art- says: “It has an edge to it that sharply captures, visually, the mindscape of America in the age of #BlackLivesMatter.”
Taurus has been a curator and juror for countless exhibitions throughout Metro Detroit, created numerous public and private art commissions, and taught figure drawing at the college level while continuing to exhibit his artwork both nationally and internationally.
