Exploring perceptions within painting, James Tailor has spent
three years experimenting with this medium and the alternatives that can be
achieved. Tailor’s work often sits somewhere between painting and sculpture,
although he considers his practice to be that of a painter and deems everything
he creates using paint to be a painting. James’ inspiration comes from
overlooked or everyday objects and he has recently completed several projects
including a replica of the Venus de Milo, a Marquee Tent and Shop Awnings
embracing his own acrylic paint techniques and the pairing of objects he
repurposes to constitute a stretcher. By using unconventional stretchers and
overlooked but recognisable objects within his work James Tailor challenges the
perception of what a painting is and encompasses the world beyond the gallery
into his practice.
