J. Taylor is a visual artist whose works investigate the mindsets within urban environments sectioned by classism. Taylor’s free-flowing style authorizes him to deliver a visual language of storytelling through various medium’s but most commonly through a combination of paint, photography, film, and music.  References of American history through the experiences of Black and Brown people can be found in his work along with iconography of popular culture.   

Taylor's work is versatile. On one end of the spectrum, his works painted in tones of grey dismiss color and environmental aesthetic references in an effort to force us to deal with the solitude of each subject matter and the stylistic characteristics in his portraiture.  The lack of visual complexity combined with techniques of pattern interruption politely escort us to the conceptual complexity whether pleasant or disturbing.  On the other end of the spectrum, his works painted in rich colorful hues embrace the diversity of culture and transcribe gathered emotion onto the canvas in an effort to share a sense of authenticity, style, and design.
