Rene Dickerson

A love affair with a brush and canvas is the best way to describe René Dickerson’s life. His passion to create, has led him down a road filled with shapes and colors that hold the world captivated. René started on this path as a young child in the 1960’s with his father who was an avid art lover who took René to studios to watch the masters of day creating beautiful works of art. The senior Dickerson had a dream for his son because he named him after surrealist René Magritte.
Today, René paints characters from all cultures and scenes to express the richness of life. Dickerson’s inspirations come from things of everyday life as well as from the art of Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali, Jacob Lawrence, and Romare Bearden.
His work is included in the collections of BMW of Sterling, VA, Berry Gordy, Otis Williams, Oprah, and has appeared in national award-winning exhibits.
His art has afforded him the ability to give back to various foundations, offering opportunities for others to fulfill their dreams and destinies. Rene’s hope is to inspire budding artists like so many famous artists inspired him.
