Artist Biography
Julian Taylor

Born in Paris in 1954, Julian Taylor is an English painter who has been living in France since 1975.
The son of English painter James Taylor, Julian Taylor studied Fine Arts in England for two years. However, a formal art school education did not suit his freedom-loving nature and he decided to take his training in hand himself.
Julian Taylor has exhibited regularly at the Parisian Salons (Automne, Artistes Français, Comparaison, S.N.B.A.) as well as at the Salon d'Angers. Since 1975, his work has been shown in various galleries in France and also in Canada, the United States, Japan, South Africa and Switzerland.
"That figurative painting still exerts its fascination on our imagination is only possible through pictorial magic. What fascinates us in a painting by Julian Taylor is not only the talent required to interpret the subject faithfully, but it is a particular rhythm that runs through the painting, always evolving with new tonalities and a luminosity that awakens the surface."
