Faye Allison – Amy Taylor
Original Oil on Board | 25 × 25cm
Bold, intimate and unapologetically expressive, Amy Taylor by Faye Allison captures the explosive personality of the Amyl and the Sniffers frontwoman through energetic colour and loose, instinctive brushwork.
Rather than presenting a conventional portrait, Allison zooms tightly into the singer's face, capturing a moment of attitude and performance. Mouth open, lipstick in hand and eyes heavily defined in electric blue, the composition feels immediate and rebellious, reflecting the raw energy associated with Taylor's stage presence.
Thick, visible brushstrokes build the portrait through layers of pink, cream, turquoise, blue, red and violet. Up close, individual marks remain loose and almost abstract, yet together they form an instantly characterful image. This tension between abstraction and recognition is what gives the painting much of its energy.
The compact 25 × 25cm format intensifies the composition. Taylor's face fills almost the entire board, creating a work that feels considerably larger and more confrontational than its physical dimensions suggest.
Painted entirely in oils and created as an original artwork, this is an individual piece rather than an edition or reproduction, with every brushstroke forming part of the original surface.
A brilliant small-format original for collectors drawn to music, punk culture, contemporary portraiture and expressive painting.

About the Artist | Faye Allison
Faye Allison is a contemporary British artist whose work explores portraiture, music, popular culture and iconic personalities through a distinctive expressive painting style.
Her portraits are characterised by energetic brushwork, unconventional colour and a willingness to leave the physical process of painting visible. Rather than pursuing photographic perfection, Allison uses layers of colour and gestural marks to capture the personality, attitude and emotion of her subjects.
Figures from music, film and popular culture provide recurring inspiration, allowing Allison to reinterpret recognisable personalities through her own painterly language. The resulting works combine the immediacy of contemporary art with the individuality and tactile quality of traditional oil painting.
Amy Taylor is particularly suited to Allison's approach, with the singer's uncompromising personality and punk energy translated into a portrait that feels spontaneous, colourful and alive.
