A vibrant undertaking of some of society’s most pressing issues, the work of Charlie Haydn Taylor uses the intimacy of home interiors to discuss personal human dilemmas and broader issues ranging from government surveillance to the effect of mental health on individual behaviour. A modernisation of the classic British pop art of the 1960s, Charlie utilises key themes from well-known artworks to relate to the central idea of each piece; from Damien Hirst’s spot paintings as a reference to pharmaceutical use, to Francis Bacon’s feature as a comment on the depicted figures struggles with their human condition.   “I’m happy that my work seems to be transcending time and space. I really just want to create time stamps, so that people notice the world we’re living in.” – Charlie Haydn Taylor Read on to learn more… Artist: Charlie Haydn Taylor Reflected in your artwork are some of society’s most pressing issues.

The artist shows the audience something unique that was noticed by him in a short moment in the vast time of his life. I am not an exception. I am a part of the world of artists, and therefore I constantly look at life either through a microscope or through a telescope.   I am looking for exceptional and unique manifestations of reality in the smallest forms of the nature surrounding me.   I am looking for clues inside the process of meditation, which is an important part of my life.   I am looking for answers about the purpose of being, studying the ancient science of Astrology and applying its laws to my own Path on Earth.   But words are too stingy to describe it, so I chose my own language – the language of canvas and oil paints. I know that I am on the right track. I am sure of it, because I am enjoying every moment of time I have spent, creating a new artwork. At these moments I talk to my inner self, and this conversation can last for hour...

Debuting in 2015, Terrence Léon is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas. Starting on SoundCloud, his first EP, “The Richest Man in Babylon”, received raving reviews and reception. While finding his foundation from the relaxed, nostalgic aesthetic of traditional 90s R&B, yet his distinctly vibrant, ethereal sound is a derivative of today's modern influences. Switching between R&B, Alt-R&B and Pop Adjacent productions, Terrence takes from life experiences to either create a sonic refuge or a place to process. Why did you name "LOADING...the mixtape", your 5-song mixtape about the end of a relationship you weren't quite done with? Well in a sense because it was a timestamp of my processing. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was feeling, or how I was processing it. From not being able to accept that it’s over, to questioning what it was from the beginning. I went through every emotion, even wanting to resolve it. The beginning stages of mourning your loss of...
