Work / Art Artist Henry Taylor takes over LA gallery Blum & Poe

LA gallery Blum & Poe hosts its fourth solo show of work by California born artist Henry Taylor, with a new film by Kahil Joseph. Henry Taylor’s acrylic paintings illustrate people who occupy very different public, private, interior and exterior spaces across the entire spectrum of American society. “My paintings are what I see around me… They are my landscape paintings,” he says. Henry’s work highlights the social and political issues – racial inequality, homelessness and poverty – faced by African-Americans across the country.

Work / Art Dutch artist Tymen Visser paints life in Tokyo

Artist Tymen Visser finds his inspiration in a simple appreciation of the every day. Although he was born in the Netherlands, since 2010 Tymen has lived in Tokyo. He became fascinated with the city after learning of his parents’ visits to Japan in the 70s, nearly a decade before he was born. Tymen continues to be interested and inspired by Japan’s relationship with his home country of Holland, and the historic influence of the Dutch on Japanese culture.

Work / Art Alejandra Hernández's candid portraits surround her subjects in swathes of colour

“I enjoy painting people and for the last couple of years I have been fully into live portrait painting. I’m very interested in the process, not just the final result,” explains Colombia-born artist Alejandra Hernández. “When you are working eye to eye with another person the painting becomes a translation of an actual situation, where everyone involved is crucial.”

Work / Art Caitlyn Murphy's paintings elevate the charm of everyday life

Caitlyn Murphy’s paintings are heartfelt in their simplicity and naturalness. It is an underrated skill to elevate the charm of everyday life that others passed by but a skill Caitlyn has honed. The paintings stem from her varied interests, “landscapes, sports, exteriors, corner stores, food…It’s all fair game though, I always come back to the same elements. I gravitate towards quiet moments that are slightly odd with off-centred compositions”, creating gouache versions of a fly-on-the-wall documentary of daily existence.
