Meet The Team
Colin Taylor: Art Director
Art was an escape for me at school and where I tried to do my best work always. I don’t know if the Art was that good, though I wanted to go to Art school and find out which unfortunately did not happen, much of the mystery was in the creative process for me, something I can physically feel at times. The first piece of Art I hung on my wall was a print ‘The Ancient of Days’ by William Blake and which began the fascination with all things Art, my early indulgence for the French Impressionists was as much about the fact they were vilified for producing something new, different and which did not deter them. This was to lead to contemporary Art and Picasso, who is still the most influential Artist for me. I’m attending life classes to further any talent I still have and would love to sculpt. I have over 40 years in sales and marketing, starting several companies and now finally being able to do something I love. Helping Artists achieve through Galleria Balmain is the kind of job fulfilment I feel I’m extremely lucky to have been able to bring about.

Kim Chaplain: COO
I am the newest member of the Galleria Balmain team, I studied art and art history as part of my degree way back in the last millennium. My favourite medium is drawing, but I have a growing interest in textiles and contemporary art. It has been a while since I have been involved directly in artwork. However, I have worked with a diverse range of people in London’s creative industries and have a proven track record in project management and organisation, as well as some great skills in partnership work and communications. I am excited to bring all of the experience together to help our artists maximise the potential of their work.
