The life and work of Philip Taaffe
Philip Taaffe specialises in appropriating the work of others and using it as the subject of his own work. In ‘Defiance’ (1986) for example, he takes a piece by Bridget Riley and reinterprets it in such a way that he makes a comment on the impersonality of the Op Art movement. Other works include ‘Homo Fortissimus Excelsius’ (1986), his take on Newman’s ‘Vir Heroicus Sublimus’ (1951) and also ‘Green Blue’ (1987), a silk screen collage referencing the work of Ellsworth Kelly.
