Andrew Taylor
Outside: San Fernando Night 2

2011

About the Item

A mixed media painting by contemporary artist Andrew Taylor. Outside: San Fernando Night 2 depicts a layered floral twigs and branches against a stark black background. Signed verso. 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.
