Lauren Taylor born in 1992 here in Nashville, TN is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Nashville, TN.
She received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2014. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally by Harbinger Projects (Reykjavík, Iceland), The Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago, IL), Safe Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Freddy (Harris, NY), bahamas biennale (Detroit, MI), Green Gallery (Milwaukee, WI), Andrew Rafacz Gallery (Chicago, IL), Left Field Gallery (Los Osos, CA), Syndicate at Snehta (Athens, Greece), among others. She is currently working on her upcoming solo exhibition with Gene’s Dispensary (Los Angeles, CA) for 2025.
Lauren Taylor’s work is an amalgamation of manipulated found imagery, clothing, and miscellaneous objects. Her sculptures hold ghost-like qualities, becoming abject props that stand-in for the objects’ original purpose. Using animated tropes of the female experience and a culled collection of tongue-in-cheek phrases and sentiments, Taylor’s infusion of humor into ordinary objects calls towards slights within the art world, a desire for control, and the bizarrities of the banal that may go otherwise unnoticed.
