A Little Bit of Everyone by Denton Burrows, originally installed in 2019.
Denton Burrows was born and raised in Manhattan, NY. He received is BA in Fine Arts from Lehigh University and his Masters in Illustration from The School of Visual Arts. Denton has embarked upon a life of visual social commentary and this practice is his therapy, his way of dealing with and understanding the world, hopefully enabling him to make people truly understand how complicated and connected the world really is, for better or worse, but that there is knowledge in these intersections; knowledge that can spark positive intellectual debate about how to thoughtfully move forward. Through bold lines and unusual color combination, the emotion of this overwhelmingly complex connectivity is always apparent in his works, as both Denton and his subjects contemplate their place in it all. In addition to his own artistic practice, Denton is an artistic entrepreneur and art production specialist. He is extremely passionate about public art and the power it has to change communities for the better. He is the CEO & Co-Founder of an art production company Dripped On Productions, as well as Co – Founder & Director at Dripped On The Road: A Traveling Artist Residency. Denton has created countless murals and is deeply imbedded in the street art scene/culture.
Denton will return Atlantic City to refurbish his mural “A Little Bit of Everyone” originally painted in 2019. This local favorite was inspired by Denton’s experience while in town and combines themes of neighborhood diversity and grit into an uplifting and positive image. Denton will touch up the original mural to restore its vibrancy and incorporate new elements to expand the design.
