About the Item
Central to Phillips's artistic ethos is the pursuit of simplicity and purity, a quest manifest in his meticulous engineering and unwavering dedication to craftsmanship. His sculptures, whether monumental installations or intimate domestic pieces, emanate an elegance that speaks to the artist's affirmative vision of the world.
Phillips was a constructivist whose work often involved moving elements that rotated in a controlled environment. His kinetic sculptures reflected influences from notable artists like Alexander Calder (geometric forms), George Rickey (smooth motion), and Ellsworth Kelly (dialogue between graphic and three-dimensional art). Unlike some kinetic sculptors, Phillips designed his moving elements to rotate 360 degrees around a vertical axis, creating dynamic contrasts between the rigidity of the frame and the fluidity of motion
Roger Phillips (1930-2022), a seminal figure in the realm of contemporary sculpture, was born amidst the bustling creativity of New York City in 1930. However, it was his formative experiences as a young apprentice to a blacksmith on Long Island that laid the foundation for his journey into the world of metalwork. Phillips's artistic odyssey truly began to take shape during his tenure at the Woodstock Country School in Vermont under the tutelage of Francis Foster, whose roots in Black Mountain College and adherence to the Bauhaus model left an indelible mark on Phillips's artistic sensibilities.
Upon graduating from Bard College in 1953, Phillips embarked on a multifaceted educational pursuit, delving into the realms of drawing, design, and metal fabrication at institutions such as the New School and the Jewish Museum in New York. His immersion in diverse disciplines cultivated a nuanced approach to sculpture that seamlessly melded craftsmanship with conceptual rigor.
As a luminary within the Artist-Blacksmith's Association of North America, Phillips established himself as a preeminent figure in the kinetic sculpture movement. His oeuvre, characterized by its dynamic interplay of form and motion, graces both private collections and public spaces across the United States. Predominantly crafted from stainless steel and vibrantly painted aluminum plate, Phillips's sculptures exude an aura of vitality, beckoning viewers into a realm where motion transcends mere physicality.
