Ahmad Hassan Taylor: History Lessons
Atlanta-based visual artist, Ahmad Hassan Taylor (AKA 鈥淭he Atlanta Illustrator鈥�) is a storyteller. His immediately recognizable portrait paintings challenge conventional narratives within art history.
鈥淢y heritage is the main influence for this body of work, as I come from a long line of creatives and educators that have positively contributed to this narrative. Though many prominent portraitures throughout history are well-known to the public, I could not think of any that looked quite like me. I often wonder what will happen to our language, history, and culture as we adapt to technology and the persistent flux within our world. My goal is to help alleviate this potential loss of information by creating thoughtful pieces of artwork that educate the world about these influencers of positive change.鈥�
