TAYLOR MARIE PRENDERGAST (USA, b 1990)
Taylor Marie Prendergast is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist who works in painting, drawing, video and performance. Born and raised in Southern California, she studied at CalArts (2013) and the San Francisco Art Insitute (2012). Prendergast is mostly known for her monochromatic palette, vigorous gesture, and direct depictions of her subjects. Her work explores themes of peril (both domestic and psychological), and often provokes a complex response.
Since 2017, Prendergast has exhibited paintings and drawings in solo and group exhibitions with Carlye Packer, One Trick Pony, and Good Mother (among others), in Los Angeles; with Stems Gallery in Paris, and LVL3 in Chicago. A two artist exhibition, Without Telos (with Jess Valice), is at Half Gallery in Los Angeles this summer. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles.
