Gallery owner Heather Taylor is interviewed for “Gallerist at Home,” by Ellen Caldwell for New American Paintings.
“Heather Taylor, gallerist and owner of Taylor De Cordoba in Culver City and blogger extraordinaire, is a woman on the go to say the least. Her gallery is best known for its intimate space, innovative program, and collaborative events, such as Eating Our Words.
The gallery is home to both established and up-and-coming artists, and is an inviting space for art lovers and novices alike. Much like the gallery she has cultivated, Heather’s home is a place of particular peace and beauty. Art hangs against earth-toned walls and amongst beautiful textiles and vignettes of cozy collectibles.I sat down with Heather to find out the back-stories behind some of her favorite art that hangs in her own personal space…”

Recrafting History included in “Best Art I Saw All Week,” by Megan Sallabedra for the LA Weekly.
“…And on the note of fiction and memory, “Recrafting History: Nostalgia & Craft in the American Memory” at Taylor de Cordoba down the street is well worth checking out. Frohawk Two-Feathers’ depictions of the (fictional) saga of the Frenglish Empire (yeah, you read that right) result in a witty and totally awesome-to-look-at set of drawings and paintings…”

Fact, Fiction and Friction: Frohawk Two Feathers
by Ellen Caldwell for New American Paintings
“During a time when fiction dances eerily with fact, it feels appropriate to look to a contemporary artist from my generation who is using acrylics, tea-dyed paper, and a variety of mediums to blur, illuminate, disguise, and play with these lines. I first saw Frohawk Two Feathers’ (NAP #73) work at Taylor De Cordoba in 2006 and have followed him and his empire literally through many gallery and museum openings, and figuratively through 100’s of years, numerous battles, wars, and revolutions. Lives have been lost, prisoners have been taken, but Frohawk always comes out on top.
As current 30-somethings, Frohawk and I grew up in a murky time. For me, my 20’s were formative: besides being post-college and post-9/11, the 2004 elections, The 9/11 Commission Report, the United States’ invasion of Iraq, and Sarah Palin’s vice presidential nomination influenced my worldview largely. Bottom line: I don’t believe anything anyone says anymore…”

Beyond the White Cube: Time Traveling with Artist Frohawk Two Feathers
by Yasmine Mohseni
Artist Frohawk Two Feathers has a gift. In his paintings and illustrations, he weaves a story that keeps his audience riveted and on their toes. Frangland? Is that a tiny forgotten island in the Caribbean? What about Batavia? That’s a little country nestled somewhere in Northern or Eastern Europe, right? No, neither of those places exist, they’re both instances of Frohawk Two Feathers creating fictional worlds through his art. With his singular voice, Frohawk creates luscious and highly detailed artwork, breathing fresh air into contemporary art’s stuffy climate. Born Umar Rashid in Chicago in 1976, he one day began looking into his own heritage and was disappointed at the meager information he uncovered. So, he started inventing his own ancestry. This then informed his work, in which he weaves actual history and fabricated history together to create an original narrative dealing with issues of colonialism and imperialism. I stopped by his studio recently and time traveled to the 18th century battlefield of Cape Colony…

“Thread,” Kimberly Brooks at Taylor de Cordoba, by James Scarborough
Kimberly Brooks’s “Thread” at Taylor De Cordoba is neither about fashion nor the women who bring it to life but about how fashion lives but for the moment it’s worn. It’s about the expectations that clothes elicit, and once those expectations are met, memories of the occasion create attempts to rekindle the irretrievable beauty of, say, a “Sunset Boulevard” Gloria Swanson. As such, the show offers a metaphor of aging: we do, style does, and, as is the case here, specific time spent in the particular clothes does…
