Rendered in gouache and acrylic on paper Taylor’s large scale idiosyncratic portraits celebrate the male homemaker in a simultaneously irreverent and satirical style that articulates a camp reversal of gendered stereotypes. 

 

Trophy husbands, home fathers, taxi dads, leisure experts, and craft kings, are clubbed together for another of the artist’s unapologetic suburban fantasies. Jokingly reflecting on his own status as a homebody, Taylor dreams up a team of everyday heroes for his own private social club.

​

Taylor’s imaginary portraits are concerned with perceptions of figuration and narrative art. Whilst grounded in the  figurative, Taylor’s figures have become increasingly exaggerated adding a dynamic sense of abstraction to his images.
