Ben Taylor Collage

I am a self taught artist from Los Angeles, California. My artwork is inspired by history, pop culture and racial intolerance and my vast multi-racial origins plays a part in many of the subjects I choose to portray in my art. In 2018 I have been honored to be part of the Baseball Reliquary's quest to keep the history of baseball alive, through exhibitions done in partnership with California's Library System. My artwork of Negro League ballplayers have been featured in many educational exhibitions from my solo exhibition "A Game in the B Leagues" at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, California to my Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference Annual Art Competition,First Prize winning "Smokey Joe Williams" which was honorably shown at The National Art Museum of Sports in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am always working on new artworks and continue to be inspired by life!
