Grover Washington, Jr. Painting

Bill Taylor is an award winning contemporary Portrait Artist based In Orange County, California. He has participated in numerous shows from one-man exhibitions, juried and group shows. His artistic painting journey began in 2010 when he turned in his successful 42 year logo, corporate identity and design studio to embark a lifelong desire to paint contemporary portraits. He has spent the last several years developing a painterly language through which he seeks to capture the likeness and the vitality of the subject. By painting and designing distinct shapes of bright color, the viewers subconscious and conscious mind has to deconstruct and reconstruct the fragments of color into something the viewer can recognize. By viewing the painting up close one perspective is seen but, seeing the painting from afar, a different perspective is seen. He has recently developed a series of “wine vignettes” based on that same painterly language.
