Disappointment of Reality and Self Painting

Jay Taylor is a contemporary artist living and working in the UK. Jay's work explores conflicts that arise from the concept of a false self and egotistical mindsets. Focusing on the absurdity and delusional state of modern life, Jay's work tussles with the illusion of happiness; tackling images, moods and memories that we find ourselves using to define our very existence. With a dialogue of self-reflection/ destruction, there is evidence of a battle of ego within the works, as pieces are finished to an expected state, then destroyed and remade numerous times and through the resulting chaos comes a manifestation of abstract forms and marks.
