Andrew Taylor – short circuit

$1,200.00

This painting differs from the others in having fewer layers – the layers that you see are the only ones that exist, unlike the others that may be heavily layered and worked. After the initial intense engagement it was tough to finish and sat about two years before I was able to complete it, with some very simple moves.

Description

Meandering line, color and its potential for surprise, repetition, figure and ground – these are the grammar and syntax that guide me. The direction of my paintings is created through a process of action and reaction, intention and accident, intuition and thought, the push and pull between presence and absence. In a world saturated with images, I hope to create paintings that resonate emotionally and communicate beyond language. I was born in India and lived most of my childhood there and in Southeast Asia. I am a practicing architect with a degree in math. Folk art, popular culture and art history provide inspiration and points of reference. My paintings attempt to merge disparate identities. Just as a small child might experiment with a paintbrush, for me painting is a form of play, an open-ended and experimental activity in which possibilities expand rather than contract.
