Available in a limited edition of 100, Cicely and Miles Visit the Obamas, captures a scene where Miles Davis and Cicely Tyson, stand in front of the White House. Describing the original work from 2017, Zadie Smith says 'In this portrait, the Obamas are invisible, represented only by the house they'd just left, while the actress Cicely Tyson and her lover Miles Davis have been transported from a long-ago black-and-white society photograph onto the green impasto glory of the White House front lawn… Taylor thinks primarily in colors, shapes, and lines-he has a spatial, tonal genius. Form responds to form: the negative space around Cicely and Miles in the photograph suggests the exact proportions of the White House, yet in the transition the abstract sometimes becomes figured, and vice versa, as if the border between things didn't matter.'

THE SKATEROOM commits 10% of revenue to support a social skateboarding project around the world. In the case of Henry Taylor, that project is building Pakistan's first skatepark. This skatepark is a collaborative effort of skateboarding non-profits Salad Days of Skateboarding, Wonders Around the World, and Skate Pakistan.
