Alongside his own fine art practice, Naylor is a tutor at the Royal Drawing School in London.Naylor’s practice is concerned with constructing an alternate universe. Familiar yet exotic, his paintings resemble the natural world seen through the filter of personal consciousness. Naylor thinks of these works as mindscapes, reoccurring motifs that well up from the subconscious and spill onto the paper or canvas.The painting process is instinctive and ongoing, working from memory that’s being constantly added to through travel and experience, enlarging and illuminating his personal microcosm.Naylor has completed a number of international residencies including time spent in Los Angeles and Delhi. In 2017 Naylor won the Discerning Eye Drawing Bursary and in 2016 the Jackson’s Painting Prize. He has exhibited widely in the UK and has work in private collections throughout the world.
