TRES TAYLOR
Tres Taylor is a contemporary self-taught painter living in Birmingham, Alabama. Taylor was a biochemist for over twenty years. Then, after a vistit with Southern artist R.A. Miller in 1998, Tres was inspried to begin his journey as a visual artist. His medium is house paints and acrylics on roofing paper textured by putty and sealed with varnish.
His subjects are usually monks, couples, and houses, and range from the simple image of a monk solemnly holding flowers to extended murals depicting journeys taken through relationships, life, and the world around us. Tres' work reveals his deep connection to the beauty of the universe.
Taylor's paintings have been described as "expressing a simplicity that is the essence of life." (Over the Mountain Journal, 2007)
Tres has exhibited in Japan, California, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Illinois, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Virginia. Tres' work can be found in several collections including, Dupont Pioneer of Des Moines, IA, the Hurn Museum of Contemporary Folk Art in Savannah, GA, and is on display at Children's of Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama. His installation, enCHANTment, will be on exhibit at the Mennello Museum of American Art in Orlando, Florida in May 2014.
I am inspired by the joy and miracle of being alive, and hope to depict that profound yet simple joy through my work.
