Josephine Taylor

Josephine Taylor creates narrative drawings on enormous sheets of paper using diluted permanent ink washes.  She prefers to install this work unframed. Her work primarily examines the emotional and psychological remnants of the childhood and adolescent experience. Though her subject matter is intensely personal and rendered with a tender fragility, her large-scale paper works defy any assumption of intimacy. 

Taylor was a recipient of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art SECA Award and was included in the California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art in 2004. Her work has been on exhibition all over the United States and also internationally at the Nordic Watercolor Museum in Sweden in 2008. In 2013 Taylor’s work was featured in “OFF-SPRING: New Generations,” a group exhibition at 21c Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. Most recently, her work was included in an exhibit curated by Brett Reichman at CB1 Gallery titled, “Tight Ass: Labor Intensive Drawing and Realism.”
