Angus Taylor and Rina Stutzer primarily deconstruct postmodern concerns and delve into aspects of this philosophy in the quest for elusive answers to complex questions. They furthermore do it in an aesthetically pleasing and highly professional manner. Taylor’s work focuses broadly on the human condition. He specifically addresses the simultaneous occurrence of order/disorder and continuity/discontinuity in three-dimensional language and through dialogue between method and matter, found and modelled objects by for instance combining cast stainless steel and red earth. He has developed significantly since an experimental exhibition at the UJ Art Gallery in 2006 and is presently considered one of the foremost sculptors in the country.
His marriage to fellow artist Rina Stutzer brought an interesting collaboration between the two about: her work explores changing habitats with the human as hybrid occupant through painting with patina on metal surfaces, thus ensuring a constantly changing surface. The two artists intersect successfully through the combination of sculptural and painterly mediums and methods. With lecture and walkabout.
