We promised a second edition of Behind the Scenes with Kevin Taylor: a study of Kevin’s evolving body of work for Terrestrial Syndrome. This quote from Kevin sums it up:

“A lot of times I will finish a painting in one sitting anywhere between 3 and 10 hours.  Others, I’ll build layers of glazes allowing time in between layers for drying, so it takes weeks.  Usually, I begin by improvising a drawing on a board, which I’ve painted white.  I then protect my drawing with a coat of polycrylic, let that dry then apply a somewhat thick wash of oil paint.  Next I begin to model things mostly by subtracting paint but also by adding glazes.  It’s really adaptations and fusions of processes I’ve picked up along the way.  I’d like to think it’s a chemistry that essentially infects my work with an original and unique look.” -Kevin E. Taylor, Art Student Gallery Interview

Watch Kevin’s carnivorous she-wolf devour a helpless critter, and come see the final product on September 12th at The Shooting Gallery.
