Artist
Imogen Taylor
Imogen Taylor paints geometrical abstracts that explore the forms and LGBTQIA+ legacies of European Modernism. Taylor’s paintings, while inspired by Cubism’s abstract forms and colored juxtapositions, are devoid of the source material’s masculine self-seriousness.In their work, Taylor contrasts imposing parallel lines with soft curves and uses thickly applied color.
Imogen Taylor has exhibited work at Whangārei Art Museum, Hocken Collections, Dunedin; Michael Lett, Auckland; and The Dowse Art Museum, Wellington, among others.
