Lamar Sorrento

Populist Painter 

When Memphis native Lamar Sorrento, a longtime guitar player, was about forty years old, he decided he wanted a portrait of Django Reinhardt, the French jazz guitarist. So he painted one. He couldn’t stop. Nearly twenty-five years later, he’s still painting, mostly musicians—Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash, the King.


“I have no idea how to paint,” says the self-taught artist, who uses the freezer in his kitchen as an easel.


Thousands of customers would disagree. His unique style has made him something of a legend. Keith Richards, Neil Young, and Lucinda Williams, among other notables, each own a Sorrento. One appeared in Richard Linklater’s award-winning film Boyhood, too. Despite his success, though, Sorrento rarely sells a piece for more than $150 or $200, so they can go to “people who’ve never bought a painting ever.”
