<p>Sculptor and master craftsman Angus Taylor’s larger-than-life artworks and sculptures utilise traditional materials in ingenious ways to create other-worldly humanlike forms. This new exhibition, <em>In The Middle of It, </em>was debuted at the Everard Read Gallery in London to critical acclaim and is the artist's first exhibition in Joburg.<br /> <br /> Taylor’s usage of materials like red jasper, hematite, bronze and stainless steel creates a body of work that is richly textured. A prime example of this unique approach to materials is his series <em>Resistance as Nurture</em>, a collection of eight bronze figures pushing through clouds of stone. In this latest exhibition Taylor sought to challenge himself by carving a bust from finely textured Belfast gabbro - a granite that is over two billion years old and is notoriously difficult to carve.</p>
