Brian Taylor—The Art of Getting Lost

This work portrays certain walks Brian takes in search of peace in the West. Rather than portraying the most sweeping or spectacular views of a landscape, Brian reveals an authentic "essence" of place-often from a quiet vantage point. The images are produced using the  beautiful 19th century Gum Bichromate process. Each print is coated by hand with "non-silver" photographic emulsions directly onto watercolor paper in multiple exposures of different colors creating a very unique work of art.

Here is Brian in his darkroom, working assiduously towards his upcoming show at Gallery 291 in San Francisco.

We're really eager to see Brian's new work—so we'll be staying in the City and attending the opening on May 14. The exhibition runs until June 30—so remember that when you're in the City, too.

In the meantime, here's a link to Brian's own website—a treat itself—where you can see more of his striking and innovative work.
