HOWARD TAYLOR: MATERIAL PRACTICE
15 May - 20 June 2026 | Albany Town Hall
Howard Taylor: Material practice invites viewers to experience the work of one of Western Australia’s most significant artists through selected works from The State Art Collection.

Howard Taylor (1918-2001) is renowned for his captivating landscape paintings and sculptures. Taylor’s art, often exploring the interplay of light and form, reflects his connection to the natural environment. Central to his vision was also his profound engagement with materials, and this approach led to widespread acclaim, including recognition by the WA State Government, which named him a living treasure in 1999 and citizen of the year in 2000.

Artwork: Howard Taylor Double self-portrait, 1959, oil on composition board, 93.2 x 105.5cm (framed), The State Art Collection, The Art Gallery of WA. Purchased 1985.
Supported by the WA Government through the Regional Exhibition Touring Boost.

Exhibition: 15 May - 20 June
Curator Talk: Sat 23 May, 10.30am
