Taylor finds beauty in the mundane, the affecting, the sedate, and the farcical. Influenced by his daily life experience he visually interprets the dissonant facets of the human story. These are the subjects and stimulus of Justin Taylor's work.
The artist was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2006 he completed a BFA at Brigham Young University. It was during this formal training that Taylor developed an adeptness for drawing and painting the human form. For his senior BFA show, Taylor exhibited his work at the 303 Gallery in Provo. In 2006 he earned the Spectrum Award through the Society of Illustrators National Scholarship Competition. He participated in the Springville Museum Spring Salon in 2007. He currently teaches part-time at Utah Valley State College while starting a new school called the Bridge Academy in Provo, Utah. He recently participated as a finalist in the National Portrait Society Competition. |
