South's Literary Center by Billy Parker
Shuptrine's will display works by local artist Billy Parker during November and December with an open house on Thursday, Nov. 5, from 5-8 p.m.
Watercolor paintings loaded with whimsy and color are the focal point of this exhibit. Displaying scenes from everyday life, past and present, the paintings provide the viewer with a view of Southern life.
Life-long Chattanooga resident and founder of the Mountain City Publishing Company, Mr. Parker’s full-time attention has been on his art for the past several years. By breathing life into common scenes, his artwork intrigues people, because they can relate to it. As Mr. Parker states, “I like motion, color, expression and for it to tell a story. What I strive for is bright colors, movement, atmosphere, and feeling. For the most part, people bring forth the feeling. Atmosphere is often created by weather and light. I am happiest when I work, and I want my work to show my feelings. I like canvases to express color and movement and I want my work to say something."
Shuptrine’s is at 2646 Broad St.
