27 OCTOBER 2022 - 10 NOVEMBER 202316. Charlie Haydn Taylor
Watchtower
Acrylic Paint & Digital Print on Canvas
127 x 91cm
This work is unique.
Watchtower hums of strange inner-city isolation. Watching London, so close, full of life, out of reach. The TV, reading ‘Are You Still Watching’, evocative of that feeling of the time loop we all felt at times during lockdown. Taylor’s signature style of digitally designed and printed collage, finished with painting reminiscent of digital interaction taking the place physical human connection.

Notes
Having exhibited in various cities such as London, Singapore and Florence, Charlie Haydn Taylor has also begun to establish himself as a key figure in contemporary art on the island of Jersey. In 2022, a sculptural public artwork by Haydn Taylor will be installed in the island’s capital of St.Helier.
Visually, Haydn Taylor’s work is interdisciplinary, graphic and multi-layered, not only in it’s physicality but also it’s conceptuality, urging the viewer to take time to see and understand the variety of details that arise from both the imagery and the ideas. The use of both paint and digital print allows Haydn Taylor to juxtapose traditional media alongside modern ways of working to create something that bridges the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds, forming a unique setting.
Drawing from minimal modern interior settings and creating his own quasi-graphic environments, Haydn Taylor’s work delves into notions of philosophical reasoning and human psychology whilst simultaneously addressing ideas of consumerism. By focusing on common household settings, Haydn Taylor highlights the intimacy of our homes, focusing predominantly on existential thought with ideas forming around how we think and behave away from the eyes of others, a comment on private and public personas.
