Malcolm Taylor Upon a Painted Ocean
This is Malcolm Taylor’s third solo show with Cricket Fine Art. Working from his studio in Cheshire over the last few years, Malcolm has produced a new body of work. His practice is rooted in drawing, occupying the space between abstraction and figuration. He has painted for over 40 years and for the last decade he’s gained the freedom to paint full-time, working daily in his garden studio. With no fixed image in mind at the outset, he uses his sketchbook studies and drawings as a starting point, preferring to let the imagery evolve through the process of painting. Although his work is conceptual in nature, there is nothing severe or self-consciously intellectual about it. Reproducing a likeness is not something he concerns himself with unduly.

subject is what he aims for. His methodology is one of constant change: working until the tensions of the composition are right, striving for energy and a sense of freedom, and allowing the spontaneity of the marks to be interesting in their own right. Malcolm is a member of The Royal Society of British Artists, The Pastel Society and has recently been appointed President of Manchester Academy of Fine Art.
“I just like to paint, I wouldn’t know what to do without it. I don’t find it odd at all to spend each day doing it.” Malcolm Taylor
