LOUISIANA - Over the past few years, New Orleans-born artist Marcus Brown has established a reputation in the art community as a sort of mad scientist/performance artist who uses electronic technology to blend sight and sound into audacious abstractions. So it was a surprise to learn that Brown, 29, also has completed a trio of realistic marble sculptures of historic religious leaders for St. Peter Claver Catholic School in the Treme neighborhood.
