Royal Society of Portrait Painters intern Sasha Stamp, who is studying English at UCL, has posted her interview with Michael about his process and approach to portrait painting on the RP website. The page is no longer available.

Blurring the temporal and tangible, Taylor creates truly challenging but incredibly rewarding images. His works are thoughtful, contemplative, revealing a strange, distorted beauty. Filled with quiet yet disturbing ambiguities, they demand a second glance. Whether in his visionary portraits, his suggestive still lifes, or his spare yet claustrophobic interiors, Taylor couples an extraordinary intensity with painstaking artistry.
