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.
