This pop art inspired abstract still life painting of bright flowers against a solid black background was painted by Hudson Valley artist, Joy Taylor, in 2022. Here, the natural forms are distilled into bold shapes with powerful hues of orchid purple, bright orange, pale blue, yellows and greens. Taylor's colors ooze richness and her shapes are bold yet organic. Trained as a collage artist, she often employs unusual materials, spatial or color relationships to challenge viewers’ assumptions about the world around them.
Joy Taylor’s paintings transform botany into a personal vision. Her recent series on canvas, playfully titled the “Boo-K” paintings, defy traditional still life depictions that often seek to tame and order the objects of the world. On the contrary, Taylor’s subjects are never still. Her floral forms have the crisp, clean qualities of cut paper; sharp, decisive lines slice through blocks of pure pigment to create defined edges of leaves, vines and blossoms. The colors are constructed as well as the form. Her exuberant palette of oranges, blues, magenta and green echo the complimentary colors favored by the Fauvists. Color is an element in and of itself in her work. This balance of sparkling color and form is irrepressible, at times disconcerting and even dangerous in its boldness.
Artist Statement
My work manipulates forms in a flattened picture plane, with imagination, rather than realistic observation, at play. I’ve built many a painting of a make-believe arrangement of flowers in a nonexistent vase on a table that’s just a curved arc, if it’s there at all.
These days I’m zooming into the deep center of my imaginary composition, where I create large shapes in transformation: leaves become flat saucers, stems thin lines that turn into fat shapes, reflections an abyss of receding color. My flowers writhe, contort, sag, and subvert the very space they inhabit. They bridge the gap between reality and abstraction.
I’ve made a few rules for myself to follow:
Scale it Up (so I can go deeper into the composition)
Simplify (for greater clarity)These rules keep me focused on my determination to give agency to the shapes I create.
Still life paintings have always removed Nature from outdoors and rearranged it inside, so we can look at it more closely and ponder its process of change, from bud to flowering to decay. I take the genre in a new direction as I invent shapes and colors, re-creating Nature in my mind and on my canvas. It’s an external expression of an internal dialogue – what does this shape become if it’s foreshortened? How do petals spiral into being? Can I see through what’s on top to what’s beneath? What is a leaf-like shape that isn’t the color of a leaf? Is it something else?
