Welcome to the web site of Taylor Ikin, Artist |
Artist StatementMy specific strengths as a painter relate to my strong feelings about our earth and how we envision our responsibility as being the watchdog for our planet. My images weave a positive story and are, by subject matter, fairly enjoyable to the eye. They are pleasing because I see the world of ours as a pleasing place. I record the environment and, in so doing, build awareness while at the same time I leave a legacy. My paintings have a rhythm and motion which consistently reflect my brushwork, and much of that has to do with my use of a synthetic surface called YUPO, a ‘tree free' paper, originally used in the printing industry. My goal is to create an exciting body of work, images to be enjoyed not only for their aesthetic quality, but also to foster a unique sense of awareness about park properties and public responsibilities as they regard our natural spaces. In short, I hope to awaken the public to what is theirs - to respect it, enjoy it, and take pride in it. Taylor Ikin |
