Springtime

Oil and bitumen on board, 24 × 15 cm.

Welcome to the new gallery that was made for the summer. After a long, dark, wet winter, the first mini gallery space—made out of an old LP cube shelf—had to be dismantled and replaced.

While waiting for the next artist to show, this was the first of three abstract mini works from my own collection that I wanted to share. This painting is by the wonderful British abstract painter Adam Taylor and is entitled “Springtime”. He juxtaposed a pretty pink against a dark, menacing bitumen to create an intense mini drama.

Artist statement

“Adam Taylor is a British contemporary artist. His paintings can be described as abstract compositions influenced by the coastal landscape of his surroundings in rural West Wales. He strives to capture the mood of the land, distilling the basic forms into pleasing shapes and colour. He works predominantly in oils, but will use enamel paint and different textures at the beginning of the painting process, producing a final piece which is raw and layered.”
