Taylor Anton White
Taylor Anton White’s art consistently defies categorization. He wryly explores the underbelly of human dilemmas, domesticity, and behaviors with unconventional materials and methods that marry both drawing and painting, the abstract and the figurative.
The artist juxtaposes text, found objects, and cartoon-like images of houses, cars, people, and landscapes—often all within a single artwork. He utilizes a vast spectrum of media, ranging from spray paint, airbrush, and hand-sewn textiles to charcoal, oil sticks, and acrylic. Characterized by freneticism and raw immediacy, his often text-strewn images deliver punch lines about our oddball human condition in playful ways.
"My work gives form to fleeting memories and the suppressed mania crawling beneath the carpet of the Western home. These images recount crisis and triumph, momentum and confinement, lust and lassitude. Finding stillness within the process of painting and drawing, I return to my childhood freezer filled with popsicles and secret passageways."
