Official GRAMMY Artist Paints Atlanta White

Todd White, the official visual artist for the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards, returns to Atlanta for his WHITENOISE Exhibition 2007 at Clay's Gallery on September 29th...

With his oil-on-canvas "Rat-Pack-Meets-Picaso" style pieces described as "art with a twist," Todd White has established a long list of celebrity clients including Glenn Close, Vin Diesel, Michael Douglas, and Hugh Hefner.

Often humorous and strangely familiar, his work captures timeless and intimate evenings filled with cocktail-sipping socialites, cigars and paparazzi as his usual subjects.

The WHITENOISE Exhibition takes place the evening of September 29th from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Clay's Gallery (572 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta, 404-524-1155).

A suggested donation of $10 is requested at the door during the opening night gala.
