About the artwork Henry Taylor uses portraiture to reveal the world his subjects are inhabiting, referring to his works as "landscape paintings." Here, in his signature gestural style, Taylor has painted his friend, the American writer Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah. She has described his work as follows: "Whenever I look at Taylor’s paintings, in the solace of seeing a single sitter staring back at me boldly, not blinking, I also see a palimpsest of stories that I can step into, because Taylor knows how to remind us that we are not alone. In one painting, underneath the image that we recognize, we can see the many."
