The drawings above were made on the return trip from Bahrain, during my one day stopover in London. The top five drawings depict Picasso's Bust of a Woman(1931) in the Tate, where I spent the beginning of the day. The next four depict Antonio Canova's 3 Graces (bottom, left two), and Helen of Troy(bottom, next two). The last thumbnail depicts living art, seen not in a museum but in London's underground. As noted on the pages linked to these thumbnails, this art reflects globalization clearly, in the venue of the pieces, in the artist's lives and locales, and in the art itself.

Certainly many aspects of globalization are reflected in my own art, represented in this, and many others sites (seeSite artist and creator and Related Taylor Websites below). My subjects are often depicted as engaged in activities inspired, made possible, or somehow influenced by globalization, and the genetic and cultural origins reflected in the drawings mirrors a global reality. And finally, my artistic style must reflect a global influence. I have seen and carefully studied the art of my contemporaries and their predecessors, all over the world, and I can not help but reflect it in my drawing. The final image above is an example, capturing a subject speaking Italian, on the London tube, her gelled hair dyed a bizzare red, to match a global pop image.
