Richard
Phillips (born in 1962)
is an American artist who lives and works in New York City. Phillips is known
for his large-scale glossy hyper-realistic paintings, recalling the pictorial
style of magazines from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and reflecting traditions of
popular image culture. His paintings represent close-up portraits,
predominantly of women from fashion and soft porno magazines, but also persons
from the fields of pop music and politics.
"My pictures involve a kind of wasted beauty - that's always been a thread in my work." – Richard Phillips
