Biography
"For over 55 years I have sought to explore the
mysteriousness of living through painting. So far as I
can see, it is the magic of mystery that creates great
art and art without that magic is lifeless."
A Coherent Optimist
A painter's response to the work of George Taylor RBSA
‘I say this silence or, better construct this space
So somehow something may move across’
WS Graham
Lines from WS Graham's poem 'The Constructed Space' provide an introduction to the experience of seeing, possibly for the first time, the paintings of George Taylor who, through his language of abstraction, constructs a visual world of imagined spaces and specific places, much as the poet explores the nature of language to construct selective expressions of complex experience, which result in work 'itself' by circumstances and, left as an object, to be encountered by somebody else.
