Public Gallery is happy to current HangTime, a solo exhibition of recent works by Taylor Simmons, and the artist’s second presentation with the gallery. Throughout two flooring of the gallery’s new expanded area, Simmons’ tightly framed and closely layered compositions shift from referencing sourced imagery, typically discovered pictures and viral video clips, to a sequence of familial portraits, conveying the artist’s private specificity and home area. His depictions of on a regular basis life, distinct for his or her vibrant tones and steadiness of acrylic, oil and spray paint, display a newfound immediacy and informal intimacy that welcome the viewer into his perspective — probably the most direct, detailed and specific sequence of works that talk with out prevarication from the artist’s residence.
