I’m Jack Anthony Taylor,  an interdisciplinary artist, my work is primarily focused on image and object making, working with found materials, photography, drawing, and painting. The themes of my work often come from an interest in documenting encounters and stories, through making images and objects that are uncanny, playful. I have an interest in myths, fables and histories, landscape and place, and theatre and film. I take my experiences of an event or place and attempt to mythologise those moments, which are often day-to-day, nocturnal, personal. I work onto prints, often painting and drawing, editing and embellishing, sometimes encasing these images or objects into cases, boxes or onto sculpture. I graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 2017, and since then presented work at the Saatchi gallery, worked on short films, presented radio (Happy Little Trees, BBC radio 4), and collaborated most recently with writer Patrick Galbraith, Photographer/Film Maker Mathew Feldman, artist and musician Dom Boufard and Director Anthony Biggs (Lapwing Act, Playground theatre).

Born 1995, Letchworth Garden City, England. Lives and works in London.
