ARTIST INFO
About
Adam Taylor is a Pembrokeshire based contemporary artist. His paintings can be described as abstract compositions influenced by the coastal landscape of his surroundings in rural West Wales. He strives to capture the atmosphere and mood of the land, distilling the basic forms into pleasing shapes and colour. He works predominantly in oils, but will use enamel paint and different textures at the beginning of the painting process, producing a final piece which is raw and layered.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
My piece is a homage to the postcards we’d send from seaside holidays in Wales as children. I liked the idea of using the old stamps I’d collected during my childhood to form a part collage/ part painting postcard replica.
