Michael Taylor: Still Life
"Michael Taylor’s new collection of still lives are an invitation to look — and to think about looking. The paintings allow us to inhabit spaces and range over textures. Carefully observed over several months of work, the pictures’ sense of reality is deceptive." - Alfie Robinson, 2025
In his first show with Portland Gallery, we are delighted to present twelve attentively observed still life paintings by Michael Taylor, inviting the viewer to study the precise textures and details throughout.
Michael 'crawls' over his paintings, spending up to four months on each canvas. He extracts finer minute elements and translates them into muted yet luminous depictions of personal objects and ceramics.
