Fraser Taylor Born in The United Kingdom, 1960 Education: Royal College of Art, London, England, MFA, 1983 Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, Scotland, BFA, 1981 Lives in Chicago, IL By incorporating a variety of processes and an interest in the sensations of touch and gesture, Fraser Taylor explores the complicated vocabulary of modern abstraction. His elegiac orbs of collaged fabric and tar-like surfaces move fluidly between invocations of landscape, architecture and cellular compositions. The resulting painterly installations, sequential drawings and animations are pictorial representation of psychic spaces and abstracted histories. upcoming exhibitions Aurobora Press, solo show and residency, San Francisco, August, 2008 Drawings Beyond Edges: Materials and Process, group show, January 29 - February 19, 2009 Foster Gallery, University of Wisconsin - Eau Clair Densities and Reflections II, solo show, StART SPADE, London, April - May 2009
