Press Release

James Cohan is pleased to present a selection of new works by Alison Elizabeth Taylor at the 2024 edition of The Art Show, organized by the Art Dealers Association of America. The fair is open to the public from October 30 through November 2, 2024, with a Benefit Preview on October 29.

 

Taylor is known for transforming the historic technique of marquetry into a new form: marquetry hybrid—a novel synthesis of media and process that incorporates wood inlay, painting, and collage to create a new perspective on painting.

 

For this presentation, the artist created new marquetry works alongside a new body of works on paper, all capturing the visual diversity of Taylor’s primary medium: wood. Taylor playfully uses a variety of wood veneers to represent the material in its original context of the forest. Drawing upon and expanding her practice in wood inlay, Taylor’s works on paper similarly capture the vibrant textures of dense woodland scenes with a combination of collaged pigment prints, painted passages, and details drawn in colored pencil. Sawdust and glitter suspended in paint medium mimic the rough bark of aspens in one work, and moss-covered roots in another. Gouache and watercolor washes evoke the gradation of sunset and the fading light of dusk behind overlapping trunks and branches. In each instance, Taylor’s unmatched attention to surface and clever choice of materials comes to the fore.
