About the Item
Solar System 1 is a painted aluminum and wood wall sculpture. It is light weight and easily installed with a single wall anchor, which is included. It is from a series of wall sculptures which exist somewhere between painting and sculpture. It is very three-dimensional, protruding from the wall and casting interesting shadows. It surface has a sense of time, a patina of history.
The inspiration is the movement and complexity of our solar system, and the differing character of all of the planets. A subtle pattern in grays and blacks serves as the background for the abstract shapes which float within as references to the planets. The colorful shapes suggest just a portion of the solar system, and the circles within the shapes may refer to the planets themselves.

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.
