Andrew Taylor
Outside: Lake Balboa 9

2011

About the Item

A mixed media painting, Outside: Lake Balboa 9 depicts abstracted twigs, tree branches and flora, executed in violets, pinks, red, green and pale yellow. Outside: Lake Balboa 9 is signed verso. Andrew Taylor’s paintings challenge what has come to be considered the norm in still-lifes. Addressing natural themes in a more “elastic” manner, the artist’s pieces often resemble layered floral motifs rather than true-to-life representations of fabricated scenes. Many of Talyor’s paintings call to mind Chinese or Japanese scrolls, with simplified leaves and flowers prominently displayed against bold color gradients, sometimes to the effect of being shrouded in mist. Yet other pieces showcase a bold, two-dimensional color palette as Taylor layers flora of different colors to imply depth and perspective and essentially give the viewer the illusion of peering through the plants. With this, Taylor describes a unifying theme in his pieces as an allusion to “the things we look through when we think we should be looking somewhere else.” Overall, Taylor’s paintings comment on the elusive nature of the environment around us. Andrew Taylor received his BFA from the Victorian College of the Arts in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia in 1987. Taylor’s art career is marked by international recognition and wide critical acclaim. Featured in many solo and group exhibitions alike, the artist has been specifically lauded as a notable presence in contemporary Australian art.

Rolling Meadow
By Timothy Tompkins
Located in Palm Desert, CA
An acrylic enamel on linen painting by contemporary artist Timothy Tompkins. Rolling Meadow is executed primarily in lush oranges, reds and green and depicts a fall field of grass and trees with a blue mountain range in the background. The inspiration for Timothy Tompkins's paintings stem from an interest of engagement with the tropes and language of the medium’s historical movements such as pop, still life, and history painting. The paintings are grouped into series by subject, and frequently show variations on a similar theme. Tompkins's ideas about art-making express a combination of concepts: the material nature of painting and how the viewer perceives its surface, the history of painting as a medium, abstraction, memory, representation, and technology.
