Taylor Lee Email & Phone Number

Taylor Lee Nicholson (b. 1991, they/them) is a genderqueer new media artist and self-described “garbage person” who loves to mix kitsch and creepiness for comically grotesque results. Taylor transforms lowbrow, banal materials such as junk mail and tabloids into sculpture to explore themes of poverty, queerness, and Americana. Their personal story of experiencing the demolition of their childhood home is rooted deeply in the work.Taylor recently exhibited a body of work entitled YARD SALE at SPRING/BREAK Art Show LA. This solo exhibition was curated by Janet Loren Hill and Jonell Logan, who won the first ever Single/Palm Award for “Best Curation.” The exhibition was also featured in Hyperallergic and Artnet. Taylor has exhibited at galleries across the United States, most notably Hashimoto Contemporary, Collar Works, Standard Space, Redux Contemporary, McColl Center, and has an exhibition coming up at Wassaic Project. Taylor has collaborated with brands like Vans, Microsoft Surface, Bojangles, and Almond Breeze, and their works have appeared in New York Times, Vogue, Oprah Daily, Boston Art Review, and The Jealous Curator among others. Taylor's work can also be seen in an SNL movie coming out this November. Taylor once shipped a painting to a collector’s office, which happened to be at MoMA, so if asked Taylor will tell you that their work has been in the Museum of Modern Art because technically that is true, even if it was only in a staff member’s office in the back for like, a day.Taylor is currently based in Charlotte, NC.
