Pace Taylor (b. 1992) is an artist emotionally preoccupied with intimacy and who we choose to build it with. Their work is often quiet, very queer, and persistently vulnerable. They received their BFA in Digital Arts from the University of Oregon (2015) and have since shown their work internationally, including at Nationale (Portland, OR), Double V Gallery (Paris, FR), and La Loma Projects (Los Angeles, CA). They have participated in the Ford Family Foundation’s Golden Spot Residency at Caldera, Tropical Contemporary’s Transformation Residency, Centrum’s Emerging Artist Residency, and received an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission in 2022. Most recently, they were awarded the Don Bachardy Fellowship by The Christopher Isherwood Foundation to study at the Royal Drawing School of London. They live in Portland, OR.
Pace is represented by Nationale.
