Introducing: Charlie Haydn Taylor

• Features

New artist Charlie Haydn Taylor talks us through his new artworks and the deeper meanings within them. 

‘Fool’s Paradise’

‘Just How New are the Emperor’s Clothes?’

This piece looks to highlight how large corporations implement policies that continuously have a negative impact on the environment. The title relates to the ‘staff’ depicted. It appears that workers at these companies do not speak up on policies that they may personally disagree with, so not to be the odd one out on such issues.

‘Our Place of Worship’

‘Our Place of Worship’ is a comment on society’s trust in pharmaceuticals. This is a subject that has fascinated Haydn Taylor as ‘unnatural’, lab-made medication continues to be at the forefront of particular treatments whilst natural remedies, such as Cannabis, are continually deemed dangerous.

‘Life at the Top’

A metaphorical and literal interpretation of how the 1% live. Artwork is seen within this piece by artists such as Basquiat and Banksy, who’s work comments on the nature of social inequality, which ironically is now only affordable to those that the very work criticises.
