Michael Taylor is one of Australia’s leading expressionist painters and one of our region’s most significant contemporary artists, with a practice spanning 60 years. He has lived in the Canberra region since 1971 – in Canberra, Bredbo, Michelago and Cooma – and the landscape of the region is a leitmotif in his ebullient, sensuous paintings, which oscillate between abstraction and representation. In Taylor’s painting every mark is electric with energy. This exhibition is the first major survey of Taylor’s practice and includes paintings and drawings from six decades, sourced from major public and private collections throughout Australia.
