Well, not much more can be said about Brian Taylor that his work cannot explain itself. Alternative process and photography are his tools of trade and he has mastered his skills. His current show at Gallery 291 in San Francisco shows the years of training and mastering his craft. The two pieces above "Sonora Desert Diptych" and "Fallen Trees Santa Cruz Mountains" were two of my favorite.
Gum bichromate four color processed images printed on water color paper is such a labor intensive process that only a true master can flawlessly accomplish. The "Sonora Desert Diptych" emulates Brian Taylor's love of the desert. Beautiful shades of brown glowing the desert golds. The calm serene of the natural state with gorgeous texture of the water colored paper printed on."Fallen Trees Santa Cruz Mountains", is so impressive because like most of his compositions it is so perfectly simplistic. It has a haunting peaceful emotive quality about this singular tree surrounded by a circle of thin branches, like a naked soul. Every last detail from the handmade books to the wood burned picture frames is paid attention to in the most meticulous manner. It would be a misfortune to miss this talented artist who transcend the lines of photography.
