Lorenzo Swinton is a, artist, curator and gallery director in Clarksville, TN. Per Swinton, “As we all journey, experience and question the meaning of life and purpose; I feel that it is what we give, what we present and what we leave for others that determine the shape of our physical, mental, emotional and social existence. My continued path of evolving artistically has been a blessed and highly favored one, producing art that is subjective, conceptual and raw; from abstract to narrative. I ask my work to speak to the audience rather than the physical being of myself, which at times can be flawed or misunderstood.
