Taylor McKimens is influenced by comics. His pieces look like grotesque scenes from everyday life but upon further inspection you notice that his 2D pieces are actually more 3D. He creates sculptural scenes that seem to make images on paper jump off the walls. Flat trucks suddenly seem to take up space. He is able to trick the eye with his optical illusions. His work has also been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art. Mckimens says that he creates scenes that many of would overlook and not describe as beautiful because he infact believes that they are beautiful. I guess he sees beauty in everday life. I love the inventiveness of his pieces and his installations that I haven't posted here. They make the real world feel like it's morphing into a cartoon, like we're all being sucked into one giant comic book world.
