About the artist
Taylor A. White wurde 1978 in San Diego, Kalifornien, USA, geboren und lebt und arbeitet heute in Richmond, Va. Er schloss 2017 sein Studium an der University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, Va. ab. Seine Arbeiten wurden seither mit Einzelausstellungen in New York und Australien, Deutschland, Belgien und Südkorea gezeigt. Taylor A. Whites freie Auseinandersetzung mit dem Prozess erstreckt sich auch auf seine Verwendung von Materialien. In seinen oft großformatigen Werken verwendet er Acryl- und Ölfarben, Kohle, Bleistift, Sprühfarbe und Airbrush. Sie bestehen aus genähter Leinwand und wiederverwendeten, zugeschnittenen Stücken seiner eigenen Kunstwerke. Immer wieder überraschend arrangiert er diese Materialien zu lustigen, absurden abstrakten Szenarien voller dynamischer Gegensätze. Ob farbenfroh und überschwänglich oder reduziert in der Farbpalette, seine Werke zeigen immer eine meisterhaft ausgewogene Komposition, in der seine Hand sofort erkennbar ist.

Taylor A. White was born 1978 in San Diego, CA, USA and now lives and works in Richmond, Va. He graduated from the University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, Va., in 2017. His work has since been exhibited with solo exhibitions in New York and Australia, Germany, Belgium and South Korea. Taylor A. White’s free exploration of process extends to his use of materials as well. His often large-scale works make use of acrylic and oil paints, charcoal, pencil, spray paint and airbrush. They are made of sewn canvas and repurposed, cut pieces of his own artwork. Continuing to surprise, he arranges these materials into funny, absurd abstract scenarios full of dynamic opposites. Whether colorful and exuberant or reduced in palette, his works always displays masterfully balanced composition where his hand is immediately recognizable.
