Since graduating from the College for Creative Studies Fine Arts program in 2002, Taurus Burns' paintings have been a regular fixture in the Metro Detroit gallery scene. Hour Detroit Magazine's 2007 Best of Detroit issue listed Taurus Burns as one of the "Best Local Artists to Collect", and in 2010 RealDetroit Weekly listed Taurus as the "Best Local Artist". Taurus has been involved in several public art projects, including Tiger Town and Detroit Festival of the Arts "Street Painting" Exhibitions. He has completed numerous private and public commissioned paintings, including a large mural at Caruso Caruso in Birmingham, and a painting representing Detroit in the 2008 Verizon Wireless 'How Sweet the Sound' Competition. In recent years, Taurus has curated and juried local exhibits such as the popular "The Detroit Frontier" and "Urban Edge" shows. Taurus continues to develop his own blend of figurative narrative painting with urban realism while building on his highly sought after series of over 200 "cityscape" paintings inspired by the Metro Detroit urban landscape.
