THE ARTIST

Aviation stories, brought to life

Richard Taylor grew up surrounded by fine art and print publishing, developing his drawing skills from an early age. After studying Graphic Design at Bath Spa University College, he refined his craft under the guidance of his father, celebrated aviation artist Robert Taylor.

Richard has established his own reputation in aviation art, particularly for his exceptional pencil drawings. His finely detailed graphite work, often enhanced with subtle white or colour highlights, is highly regarded by collectors. His paintings share the same attention to detail, atmosphere and historical storytelling.

JET Art Gallery’s growing selection includes Channel Sweep, Unscheduled Arrival and Dawn Till Dusk, capturing the Spitfire and its crews from the Battle of Britain to Normandy. Explore the collection for editions, signatures and special-order availability.
