Harvey Taylor
Harvey Taylor has developed a labour intensive painting process whereby each painting can take up to two months to complete. He starts with a photographic image which he breaks down using a grid. He then meticulously and objectively builds up a painting from very close observation of the gridded image. The distance he places between the photographic image and the painting enables him to stay focused and work over a long period of time on a piece of work.
His current work falls into two categories; landscapes and close up views of nature, such as a view of leaves or a stretch of water.
