Posted on: March 31st, 2009 Exclusive Interview with Gary Taxali in Anticipation of "Hindi Love Song"
Gary Taxali never suffers from a creative block.
Either he’s learned a secret that he needs to share with us immediately or something else is up. Besides the fact that he is a busy professional who can afford little time to contemplate his next creative move, he does have one secret he often uses: claiming found canvases and incorporating them in his art. He works on a variety of surfaces, including: paper, plywood, masonite, steel, aluminum and vintage book covers. These non-traditional canvases inform his illustrations as he meticulously works around and on top of pre-existing words, marks and tones to create charming, handmade works.
This Saturday, April 4th, Jonathan Levine Gallery serves up a dazzling array of Taxali’s fanciful characters that are sure stimulate your senses and put a smile on your face.
