Johnny Taylor
-
Johnny Taylor creates his distinctive floral paintings by placing the rich traditional aesthetics of Ikebana Japanese flower arranging and Ukiyo-e woodblock prints into a contemporary composition.
Beginning with Ikebana’s elegant forms that are suggestively figurative and architectural, the work’s imagery unfolds following Ukiyo-e’s thematic design and intricate patterning while embracing restrained pallets that have a deceptive complexity.
With his particular vision, Taylor uses these delicate and nuanced notes to broaden the language of his bold and expressive painting, bringing together classic stillife, landscape and abstraction in a harmony of Eastern and Western inspirations. -
