About the Item
My Stories Paintings tell tales gathered from wanderings around the country and around the world. When I am walking I am searching for objects left behind by others, I am making drawings of interesting shapes I come across, and I am generally collecting elements for new painting compositions. These elements find themselves composed into paintings which then tell a story in a painting, and every viewer may recompose them into a story of their own making. Underlying letters suggest the literary context of the written word in story-telling.
I find the square format an interesting challenge and a rewarding shape to work on. It is straightforward and honest in its form. I work with slow-drying acrylic paint, and also in oils.

Richard Taylor
Richard Taylor creates in his Milwaukee Riverwest studio. His artwork is both 2- and 3-dimensional, ranging from site-specific outdoor sculpture to paintings on canvas, to the fusion of painting and sculpture. He shows in galleries across the country, and has completed dozens of commissions for corporations, hospitals and municipalities nationwide. Influences on his work include music, poetry, and urban existence. Source material varies from postage stamps, found objects and signage to alphabets, numbers and literature. He plays the saxophone and is very influenced by both jazz and classical music. He served as the artist-in-residence for Quad/Graphics, a national printer, for eleven years, painting huge murals and creating site-specific sculptures. He has taught part-time at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, and continues to be an avid student of Art History. Travel to cultural destinations and time spent living in San Diego serve as influences on his work, as does the agricultural landscape of his native Wisconsin.
