Taurus Burns is a graduate of The College for Creative Studies (Fine Arts ‘02). His art explores the psycho-social impact of systemic racism in America today. Lifelong introspections on race and society come together in oil paintings that evoke our nation’s continued struggle for racial equity, while narrative works filled with allegory and imagined, hybrid creatures, reveal Taurus’ own journey toward self-actualización as a biracial man in an anti-black society.

Taurus paints almost exclusively in black and white, symbolically defying the stigma of race-mixing while highlighting the depressive effect of looking at the world in black and white. His museum-quality work is in numerous private and corporate collections.
