I love the way that Taxali explains his art as a self portrait, saying 'Everything I love and what I want to say is in my art'.
I think it is very true that everything a creative person produces is in someway a self portrait, whether subconsciously or unintentionally. Their characters are inherently reflected or imbued in what they create simply because they themselves have made it. The ideas and thoughts that have gone into the process of making have passed though their consciousness and then their hand has laid them down and translated them onto paper, the whole time their being has influenced and in term translated itself onto the page in the image.
Plus Gary's work is always so stunning and inspiring. It is so tangible and textured and beautifully analogue, and I love his use of repetition of characters and symbols throughout.
