Part of Benjamin Thomas Taylor's Paintings From The Breakfast Table — a series that came directly from his studio practice rather than from a brief or exhibition theme. The pomegranate against ultramarine has the quality of something painted quickly and with complete attention: the still life as a record of looking at an actual object on an actual table, the colour choice making it something more than documentation.
The Breakfast Table series offered an intimate view into Taylor's creative process that his larger exhibition works don't have — smaller, faster, closer to the daily rhythm of the studio. Original, one-of-a-kind, the starting point for a practice that has gone on to produce album artwork for Paolo Nutini and Robbie Williams and commercial commissions for Nike and Rough Trade Records. At £100, one of the most accessible entry points into his original work. Signed.
