Robert Taylor Biography | Portfolio
The last 10 years of his design career were spent in Los Angeles, after which he returned to his hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for (what was intended to be) a one-year sabbatical (ca. 2000). While on this break he picked up his paintbrushes for the first time since college. Mr. Taylor Comments: "To my surprise, I produced enough inventory in nine month's time to warrant a private showing. My primary objective in showing my work was to gauge response, and, if positive, perhaps justify future efforts. The show was successful beyond my wildest expectations... thus began a new career." "I've been drawing and painting the faces of my favorite musicians, entertainers, athletes, and political figures since I was a child. It makes sense, therefore, that a rather large portion of my first professional work would be inspired by this same general theme." Testimonials “Robert Taylor is one of those artists who can capture the essence of a subject with a minimum of brushwork. This cutting to the core is a talent that cannot be taught, and is what makes his work so great.” Tony Levin (Recording/touring bassist and longtime band mate of Peter Gabriel & legendary band King Crimson) “Robert Taylor makes history come alive with color; he makes history come alive with insight; he is an intuitive observer of people and events and expresses it all masterfully on canvas.” James G. Petrucci (Founder / President of J.G. Petrucci Co., Inc. in Asbury, NJ) |
