London based artist Benjamin Thomas Taylor is known for his bright, Pop Art inspired landscapes. Having grown up near Snowdonia, Taylor’s art explores a unique blend of the urban and rural. Fuelled by a sense of joy, his detailed paintings open up hyperreal spaces, crossing from reality into a parallel world of limitless possibility, full of colour and creation. Taylor studied painting at the University of Brighton and has since gone on to exhibit at a number of London galleries

‘Little Garden’ depicts layers of dense plants and flowers, hanging from a basket against a light blue background. Fern fronds, brightly coloured stalks and large leaves fill the painting, while the title alludes to a world within a world, suspended high in the sky. With its technicolour tones, Taylor’s painting is a gem of magical realism, transporting its viewer to a wondrous vista, filled with visual allure and enticing promise.
