Daniel Taylor (b. 1986, Prince Edward Island, CA) Currently studying at Slade School of Fine arts (MFA Fine Art Media), received a BFA from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (N.S.C.A.D.) (2011). His work has been presented in exhibitions at Ehrlich Steinberg, Los Angeles, CA (2024), Larder, Los Angeles, CA (2022); Ginsberg, Lima, PE (2021); 650mAh, Hove, UK (2019); Airy Yamanashi, Kofu, JP (2019) and Arbyte Studios, London, UK (2019). Taylor had a residency at Palazzo Monti, Brescia, IT in 2024 and a residency at Metropolitan Fukujusou, Kyoto, JP in 2023.

Daniel’s multidisciplinary practice explores the tension between storytelling and narrative ambiguity, loosely following recurring themes and characters through wall reliefs, sculpture, and drawing. He employs a non-linear narrative to draw on ideas around Queer deviation, disoriented lineage, and being “off center”, thinking of queerness in a directional sense more concerned with orientation than sexuality.
