CITYSCAPES/WORDSCAPES COLIN TAYLOR
Cityscapes/Wordscapes June 2015 Colin Taylor and Antony Rowland
Cityscapes/Wordscapes Colin Taylor and Antony Rowland Preview Evening – Thursday 11th June 2015 Exhibition Dates – 12th June until 22nd June 2015 Two artists with a growing reputation in their respective fields, the painter Colin Taylor and poet Antony Rowland will be collaborating to hold a joint exhibition at Contemporary Six – The Gallery in Manchester city center, from 11th June. Both Taylor and Rowland create imagery about places they have travelled to, worked and for this exhibition, the city in which they both now live. Over the past four years, Taylor has been working on a series of paintings of the Manchester skyline as viewed from some of its tallest buildings. It is the latest phase of an ongoing personal exploration of ‘Manchester Central’ how ‘experience’ can be conveyed in visual form. In recent years Taylor has shifted subjects from the Oil, charcoal and pastel on canvas contemplative interior of a cathedral to the broad 24” x 24” picturesque prospect of the northern upland and to the heat, clank and clatter of a street market in £850 India. For this exhibition Manchester’s accumulated contours, transport corridors and its breathing space is explained as pure landscape.
