Richard Taylor - Forests

Richard Taylor unites painting and sculpture using three dimensional metal forms as canvases for his painted finishes. Fleeting images of people, architecture, and signage, along with fragments of words and numbers are fused into souvenirs of the experiences and characters Taylor has encountered throughout his life.

Wisconsin has been home to Taylor since childhood, he earned both a BA in Art History and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.  His monumental public sculptures have earned him recognition throughout the country.

Selected Public Collections: General Electric Medical Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Marquette University, Quad/Graphics, Rockwell International, Mayo Clinic, University of Wisconsin, Visa, Meijer, Neiman Marcus, Federal Reserve of Chicago among others.
