Inventions – Kristian Taylor-Wood

Inventions

Commissioned by McCann Erickson for their Stare gallery, “Invention” is a look into Kristian Taylor-Wood’s wonderfully diseased mind. Influenced by a love for 70’s and 80’s horror films such as “The Shining” and “American Werewolf in London” and recalling his fond memories of a childhood spent breaking into abandoned buildings, Kristian has conjured up a quirky new post apocalyptic world of Lonely people and their Inventions.

Kristian Taylor-Wood

Born in Croydon, south east of London, Kristian Taylor-Wood began his photography career at the cult UK based magazine Dazed & Confused. And so began a life long love affair with the world of photography.

“It’s the way photos can change someone’s perception of the world we live in. Photographs are the materialization of my imagination.”

It is this imagination that has captured the attention of clients and galleries nationally and internationally. Through his photography Kristian brings humour and beauty to even the most unsettling subject matters.
McCann WorldGroup’s Stare Gallery invited Kristian to be one of the first artists to exhibit in their space.

“I don’t want people to just pass my pictures by. I want them to stop and think about what’s going on and then make up their own story.”
