About the Artist

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To continue with the values of midcentury British abstraction John Taylor takes his inspiration from the St. Ives School of art but adds his own personal geometric simplicity and clarity.  ​

 

Originally trained as a theatre and film designer at Central St. Martins Art School in London Johns work presents itself in a simple and direct modernist style.  His work emphasises his passion for using shape colour and form to create visual connections intrigue and drama. ​

 

His work is held in collections worldwide.​

 

John uses throwaway materials in the majority of his works where cereal packets, discarded carton card, envelopes, old papers and vintage wallpapers all feature. These are often disguised, reconstituted and reinvented.  

​​

The products and by-products of human existence are the materials for his work.  

​​

John lives and creates his work in Stockport UK.
