About the Item

Abstract #410, acrylic on canvas, 60 x 60 inches. Excerpts from DENIS PHILLIPS written by Jane Connell “I’ve never really known a time in my life,” Denis Phillips muses, “when one way or the other, I was not pursuing art and music.” His parents and grandparents were musicians. His grandmother has a piano and, during frequent visits, he copied illustrations by N.C. Wyeth from books she had. Making drawings and playing musical instruments, nurtured in his youth, are prevailing constant today. Besides maintaining a spacious room for painting, Phillips has dedicated a considerable area of his Salt Lake City studio to an array of electronic musical equipment – a piano and synthesizer, guitars and chimes, a multi-tract tape recorder and more. Here, art and music inform one another in a variety of contexts and media. Improvisation is at the heart of Phillips’ creativity. Whether he is exploring combinations of sounds and rhythms or compositions of color and form, the range of his artistic expression is defined by the energy of the moment. As an artist, he moves effortlessly from oil and acrylic to watercolor, from sketching and plein air painting to working in the studio from memory, and from intuitive abstractions and realistic rural scenes to abstracted forms of landscape. “I like it all,” Phillips says. Phillips’ paintings done in an abstract expressionist vein correspond most closely to his process of creating music. While he does not consciously attempt to make his music visual or his painting lyrical, he sees both modes of expression as experimental and open-ended – the impulse of one sound or gesture suggests the next, unhampered by preliminary notations or sketches. “By starting a painting without direction, things happen that you may not anticipate,” says Phillips. “Abstraction allows your mind to wonder around and think things that may or may not be accurate.” The artist delights in this spontaneous unknown, in the momentum of purely visual rendition. Some of the best abstract works emphasize color relations, while others are more concerned with the matters of shape and line. Some are cool, others are warm in tonality. Dark, brooding compositions contrast with those emblazoned in bright hues. All are boldly executed. Great swaths of acrylic pigment are overlaid in a succession of vigorous, multi-colored hatching, first horizontal, then vertical. Striking diagonals and geometric shapes punctuated with splashes, drips, and linear flourishes, make frequent appearances. In smaller works, such painterly gestures boil just below the surface of the canvas. In large scale, they explore and reverberate as if set loose from the confines of the two-dimensional format. Denis Phillips was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1938. He was one of a generation of dynamic students who experimented in both realistic and modernist styles at the University of Utah, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1962. He has remained in Salt Lake City, developing his own talents and encouraging those of others, having taught courses at the Salt Lake Art Center, the University of Utah, and Westminster College. Over three decades, Phillips has exhibited extensively in the region and nationally. His paintings are included in many corporations and private collections.

Untitled, 1974

By Claudia Sisemore

Located in Salt Lake City, UT

"Untitled, 1974" by Claudia Sisemore, acylic on canvas, 58 x 56 inches, $7,200. Unframed. "I have a vague idea of what I am going to paint. I read that many artists are inspired by an idea before they begin their work and plan their approach and process based on that idea or muse. Others become inspired after they have begun working and watching colors, shapes and designs form. I basically belong the second group. Usually, after painting begins in a loose, free manner, I become excited by certain colors and patterns and continue from there." -Claudia Sisemore -- Caudia Sisemore says she was teaching English when artist David Chaplin (an equally popular and influential teacher) was at Weber and initially got her into landscape painting. “Then he took me to a show at the Art Barn and Lee [Deffebach] was showing there [with Don Olsen...

Inland Crossing 35

By Hyunmee Lee

Located in Salt Lake City, UT

The gestural paintings of Hyunmee Lee are sumptuously minimal. Rich forms advance from buttery canvases like an abstract garden. Gauzy veils of paint hover like soft air against the ebony weight of matter. Light peeks through translucent shapes like sunlight illuminating soft mist. Texture swirls and echoes across the canvas as if carved by waves or eroded by the wind. The viewer, invited into a realm of contemplation and meditation, is surprised to look away and see the physical world existing in only three dimensions. But perhaps that is precisely the experience the artist would like the viewer to have. In her current exhibition, Touch, on display at the Phillips Gallery...

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman

Located in Frederiksberg C, DK

An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman. In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues. Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish. Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
