"The Flaming Owl" 24" x 28" 2004
By Phillip W.
Phillip
W. is
a prolific artist. He
painted as a young boy and speaks emphatically of his experiences of
painting throughout his whole life.”
Watching Phillip at work is exciting.
A painting evolves quickly and goes through multiple changes in a
flash. Nothing is precious
in this work. Whatever
image pops in his mind goes immediately to the canvas.
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.
When the right combination of strong image, color, texture, and
meaning integrate at a particular moment the painting is deemed
complete.
The Flaming Owl is a prime
example of Phillip’s compelling ‘outsider’ vision.
This imagined creature looks straight out at the viewer, coming
alive through the pulsating color, heavy texture, and repetitive forms
which harks back to aboriginal and other cultures.
