Charles Taylor
Charles Taylor was born in Saskatchewan
where he spent his formative years. In 1982, he graduated
from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor
of Arts, majoring in English Literature and minoring
in Fine Arts. He has lived in Toronto since 1987.
Art has always been an important part in the artist's
life, both as a way of personal expression and as an
educational tool. Taylor often chooses themes that have
social messages such as the persecution of women, religious
and political oppression, and especially, man's mistreatment
of the environment.
Charles uses a variety of media to produce his work,
which falls into a number of different genres including:
abstraction, surrealism, expressionism, and realism.
Collage plays an important part in how he constructs
his work. Natural elements such as leaves, twigs and
bark in collage creations commonly make references
to the environment in various ways, including environmental
didacticism.
