Residual Ink is a solo exhibition by Gold Coast-based artist Jerome Taylor. Influenced by graffiti, anime, hip-hop and a childhood shaped by action figures, cartoons and video games, Taylor’s work is an ongoing expression of the world around him and the experiences he is living through.
Jerome’s practice is instinctive, personal and constantly evolving. Rather than working within one fixed style, he allows each idea, emotion and experience to guide the materials and direction of the work. His visual language brings together the boldness of street art, the energy of popular culture and the honesty of lived experience.
Working across spray paint, screen printing, airbrushing, paste-up, oil pastels and paint pens, Jerome creates layered works on canvas and reclaimed objects. The marks, textures and imperfections left behind are an important part of the process—sometimes refined, sometimes raw, but always honest. By working with reclaimed surfaces, he gives existing objects a new story while allowing traces of their past to remain visible.
At its core, Residual Ink is about Jerome telling his story without filtering it into something perfect. Through openness and vulnerability, he hopes the work can help others feel seen, understood and perhaps a little kinder to themselves.
