My work is for the creative intellect. Chance, spontaneity, lyrical and rebellious are qualities in the work. Painting for me is like composing a jazz song... direct, romantic, unconventional and individualistic. Non-idiomatic improvisation and rhythmic motion of the unconscious are how I attack the canvas. The process of making art for me is emotionally charging and spiritual.

Taylor first became interested in art after being confronted with a Jackson Pollock work during a pivotal visit to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. “ By observing these past master’s techniques, efforts and evolution one can extrapolate a differentiated framework and approach in a new direction. “ Phil also believes in observing what fellow artists are producing. He is a serious artist who utilizes simple and complex methods to attack the canvas. Bringing a energetic and managed approach to his body of work that insures each piece is individual, lively and creative.
