Self-taught and universally inspired artist. Adept muralist, musician, lecturer, art consultant, and multicultural educator. Artist-in-Residence with the African-American Museum of Cleveland. Contracted muralist for Sankofa Fine Art Plus.

Bobby Bannarn

Through his apprenticeship and the resulting influence and interaction with the likes of Romie Bearden, Charles Alston, Gordon Parks, etc., Bobby has developed, refined, and perfected a style of painting that is very personal, chronicalizing history. Bobby reveals thought with a sincerity of color and expression that immediately calls to mind the likes and ability of Aaron Douglas in capturing and documenting the African-American personality. Bobby is unparalleled in capturing the intimacy of the African-American lifestyle.

Bobby Bannarn, born to Floyd W. Bannarn, America’s first African-American race car driver and brother of Henry “Mike” Bannarn, eminent in African-American art, has been painting since his childhood. Born into an adventuresome and artistic family afforded Bobby the experience and provenance rarely seen in the American art market.
