"Clifford Bailey's work is playful, intense, funny, twisted, easy to look at and hard to forget. His signature style is original and unique. When it comes to music painting, he has that rare ability to capture players and music in a way that can only spring from the soul of someone as passionate about music as his subjects. For me, his work is about feeling; it's a hysterical celebration of life and a subtle examination of human behavior, thought and action. It would be hard to look at a Clifford Bailey painting and not react to it. If great art is about communication, Clifford Bailey is, truly, a fantastic artist."
