TAYLOR CYAN JOHNSON

BFA fine arts painting — concentration in history of visual arts & cultures
[cinema & archaeology]

Taylor lives and works in Los Angeles.

Her works explore intimacy, movement, ritual, and a dreamlike inner world in expressive, symbolic, mythologically-referenced paintings and whimsical line drawings. Her work meditates on duality, fragmentation, and feelings of suspension while playing with climactic movement and purposeful gazes. Employing subtle value shifts, light colour washes, and raw linework, she projects a delicate, uninhibited tenderness and sensuality with an intuitive hand.
