Abstracts: “For me, creating abstract art gets as close to pure flowing creativity as anything.  It’s an exercise in freedom and experimentation.  The canvas becomes your own universe to build and what comes from it is an interesting evolution of shapes, colors and forms.”       –Taylor Gallegos

Figural: “The forms of human beings have always and will always intrigue me.  The human race produces infinitely interesting, beautiful, complex, and simple shapes, styles, principles, ideals and figures.  I’ve been drawing and painting people since I was a young artist and it remains a skill upon which I can continuously refine and improve.”     –Taylor Gallegos

Icons: “This is a collection that is all about re-creating, representing and reflecting imagery.  I draw from personas in pop culture from the past and the present that have made impressions on me, either positively or negatively.  Growing up in a world that is oversaturated by a constant flow of media and imagery, we naturally gravitate toward powerful images that have the ability to stay in the mind long after they are gone.”           –Taylor Gallegos

Portraits: “My portraits are a reflection of my gregarious side.  They are always interesting to do because on one hand all that is taking place is a painter seeing the way that light and shadow fall on the planes and surfaces that make up their subject. On the other hand, the artist is getting an intimate glance into the makeup of their subject’s personality.  What makes a person that specific individual person is an infinite number of unique characteristics.  Of those characteristics, the ones that make up how a person looks are only a small portion.  But even still, through a portrait, you can pull a lot of truth about the way that a person is feeling, thinking and living at the time.”      – Taylor Gallegos
