Meet the Artist
Through faux-naive figurative paintings, Jackson Taylor describes the connections within our shared human experiences. Using symbols, objects and narratives as a painter, Taylor delves into the subtle nuances that both communicate and evoke shared or conflicting perspectives and ideas. His current artistic focus lies in capturing both interpersonal and shared moments we all experience. Depicting narratives as simple as – taking out bins, morning routines and tying shoes – or scenes holding more complexity such as - social situations, a first date and a crowded room. Taylor aims to evoke relatability through all avenues of life.
Transforming these moments into platforms for connection and dialogue. His artwork features a playful style combining unusual proportions with vivid colour selections, inviting viewers to rediscover personal experiences within his creations. Characteristic elements in Taylor's paintings include stacked spatial arrangements, emphasised eyes, and simplified POV depictions that impart distinctive character while preserving recognisability throughout his body of work.
