Promotional Information

Having begun his studio practice as a painter and draftsman, in 1985 Al Taylor (1948-1999) devised a uniquely innovative approach to process and materials that seamlessly enveloped drawings and three-dimensional objects as he created compositions that were grounded in the formal concerns of painting. Taylor ultimately sought to expand the possibilities of vision in his search for new ways of experiencing and imagining space, and his multilayered investigations of perception across variant dimensions provide the viewer with an insight into the artist's idiosyncratic thinking, his methodology, and his playful sense of humor.

Reviews

"New York's art world institutions still haven't recognized how good an artist Al Taylor was... What comes across in [Pet Stains, Puddles, and Full Gospel Neckless] is futility and humor, in equal, inseparable doses."--John Yau "Hyperallergic"
