Two artists with a growing reputation in their respective fields, the painter Colin Taylor and poet
Antony Rowland will be collaborating to hold a joint exhibition at Contemporary Six – The Gallery
in Manchester city center, from 11th June. Both Taylor and Rowland create imagery about places
they have travelled to, worked and for this exhibition, the city in which they both now live.
Over the past four years, Taylor has been working on a series of paintings of the Manchester skyline
as viewed from some of its tallest buildings. It is the latest phase of an ongoing personal exploration of how ‘experience’ can be conveyed in visual form. In recent years Taylor has shifted subjects from the contemplative interior of a cathedral to the broad picturesque prospect of the northern upland and to the heat, clank and clatter of a street market in
India. For this exhibition Manchester’s accumulated contours, transport corridors and its breathing
space is explained as pure landscape.
