Kāryn Taylor

Aotearoa Art Fair, SANDERSON CONTEMPORARY

Kāryn Taylor manipulates materials, light, form and shadow to challenge our perception of the structures that ground our reality. Her practice is informed by geometric abstraction, which stems from her interest in quantum physics. Taylor produces self-illuminating light boxes and multi-dimensional installations. The light boxes are intense in colour with their glowing lines of light that defy logic. They are analogue, glowing without power. Their illumination is striking; convincing many that there must be some kind of hidden mechanism or light source. The artist was a finalist in the Fulbright Wallace Award, Parkin Drawing Prize, the Waikato Contemporary Art Award and the Lola Anne Tunbridge Award. She recently exhibited a large-scale solo exhibition ‘Future Philosophies’ at The Suter Art Gallery Te Aratoi o Whakatu, Nelson (2023). She lives and works in Māpua, Nelson.
