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.

Formalism collides with a punk rock, folk art sensibility in his pop culture mash-ups that explore the liminal space between the natural and built environment. The animal kingdom acts as our proxy. His paintings are noticeably devoid of the human figure, replaced by a colorful bestiary cavorting in landscapes that echo speculative fiction...

NIGHT SHIFT
By Gregg Louis
Located in New York, NY
Gregg Louis is a multidisciplinary artist born in St. Louis, Missouri and based in Brooklyn, New York. His works, in diverse formats, investigate fundamental philosophical quandaries with a great sense of playfulness and humor. Aspects of his work often revolve around perception, existentialism, and the construction and destruction of belief systems. Louis’ sculptural work uses the objet trouvé, or found object, as a jumping off point. Meditating on our perceptions of everyday life, he often incorporates wigs, light bulbs, TV antennas, kitchenware, and other domestic objects to create uncanny forms. Through a process of alterations, sometimes violent, Louis twists...
