Bill Saylor's exhibition A.K.A. PSYCHOPOMP introduces a new series of oil paintings and drawings that channel contemporary themes through mythical creatures and symbolism. The exhibition highlights three innovative double skull-headed reapers symbolizing ecological transitions and reflects on the interconnectedness of species through four cobras, each embodying themes of nature's duality. This showcases Saylor's evolving artistic style, employing instinctive techniques on unprimed surfaces, emphasizing spontaneity and visceral connections to the vibrant energy of life and earth.
For Saylor, painting is instinctive, physical, visceral. The artist works directly on the floor, using unprimed canvases or patched fabrics, initiating his compositions with explosive, spontaneous gestures.
These figures make their debut on canvas, marking a pivotal shift in his artistic journey. Heralds of the passage to another world, these reapers resonate clearly with the exhibition's title.
