Richard Taylor Abstract Paintings
American, b. 1730
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.to
