Overview
We are delighted to present a celebratory exhibition of photography by Rod Taylor, Reflections, at our Hong Kong space. Trained as a printmaker and painter, Taylor's images restrict the perspectival depth of his subjects, constantly drawing the viewer’s focus back to the two-dimensional surface through the use of foreground forms, structures and tonal contrast. With a focus on the reflective surfaces embedded in Hong Kong's cityscape, this presentation offers a topographic documentation of structures within the city.
Rod Taylor (b 1937) studied at Manchester Regional College of Art, where he obtained the National Diploma of Art. He has exhibited at the Lantern Gallery, Worsley, with a solo retrospective at Turnpike Gallery, Leigh in 1980. Now based in Hong Kong, Taylor was an esteemed arts educator culminating as the founding director of the seminal Drumcroon Education Art Centre in Wigan which went on to influence UK and international programming of the arts.
