Biographie

Né en 1960 à Willow Grove, PA, États-Unis
Vit et travaille à Brooklyn, NY, États-Unis

Au fil des décennies, Bill Saylor a proposé un examen frappant de l’abstraction gestuelle, mêlée à un ensemble de symboles et de motifs profondément personnels. Les peintures de Saylor dégagent une énergie et un engagement palpables. Elles abordent des thèmes tels que l’histoire naturelle, l’impact de l’activité humaine sur l’environnement et l’interaction complexe entre la vie organique et la présence industrielle.

Bill Saylor a présenté des expositions individuelles à Magenta Plains, New York ; Galerie Julien Cadet, Paris ; Leo Koenig Inc, New York ; The Journal Gallery, Brooklyn ; et Loyal Gallery, Stockholm. Parmi les expositions à deux, citons Air Like Wine avec Rob Mcleish à Neon Parc, Brunswick, AU ; Bill Saylor & Josh Smith à la galerie Hiromi Yoshii, Tokyo, JP ; Bill Saylor & Aidas Bareikis à Shoot The Lobster, New York, NY ; Bill Saylor & Donald Baechler à Makebish, New York, NY ; et Mason Saltarrelli et Bill Saylor à Shrine, New York, NY. Saylor a fait partie de l’exposition Animal Farm à la Brant Foundation et a participé à des expositions collectives à Venus Over Manhattan, New York ; CANADA, New York ; Martos Gallery, Los Angeles. York ; Martos Gallery, Los Angeles ; MIER Gallery, Los Angeles ; Ceysson & Bénétière, Luxembourg et au Yerba Buena Art Center, San Francisco. L’œuvre de Saylor a également été dans l’exposition Contemporary Painting organisée par Alex Katz au Colby College Museum of Art du Colby College en 2004. En 2010, Saylor a collaboré au zine “Ho Bags” avec Harmony Korine et a été artiste en résidence à la Chinati Foundation à Marfa, au Texas.
