Phillip is a prolific and extraordinary artist. He has been painting his whole life and is entirely self-taught. He is a charming, passionate artist who paints and sculpts from a detailed, highly specific inner world and has created many works in the Art Studio at Northeast Center. Watching Phillip at work is most exciting. A painting evolves quickly and goes through multiple changes in a flash. Nothing is precious in this work for he is courageous and free. Images flow into images as colors may be applied heavily through his quest to express his imagination with instinct and clarity. A hidden, but strong story line typically informs the work. Phillip’s compelling ‘outsider’
vision exhibits coherence and consistency. Clearly his art affirms his
purpose in life, clarifying his identity, giving him self-esteem,
heightened by the appreciation of others. When he returns to the
community he plans to continue his quest as artist.
