Garnish of Oleander

About the Item

Acrylic on hand-carved African mahogany Signed, titled, and dated, verso This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Philip Campbell writes: “August 2016 we traveled to Chicago to attend an exhibit/book signing/jazz concert for Tony Fitzpatrick at the DePaul University Art Museum. Always the welcoming soul, Tony invited us back to his home for the after party. We stayed a while, but soon ventured out to find a great place to have dinner. Siri guided us to a trendy new restaurant on a corner in the heart of the city. We were sitting at one of the outside tables when my love (she is a botanical installation artist and has an extensive knowledge of plants and flowers) noticed that the pretty flowering plant that fills the planter wall, that was gently leaning over our dinner, was Oleander. Every part of that plant is capable of stopping your heart if ingested. The staff was oblivious to this. To celebrate our surviving that meal and those who did before and after us, the delicious slice of carrot cake is surrounded by pretty flowers, commonly welcomed in to our lives, that are poisonous to humans.” Philip Campbell creates carved and painted bas-relief sculptures in wood, but identifies more as a three-dimensional painter than a woodworker. He executes his underpainting in African mahogany with a chisel to add depth, shaping texture that one can touch. The weight, strength, and grain of the wood adds life to his narratives. Campbell started making bas-relief paintings in the mid-1990s, but beginning in 2009, his work became much more personal, as he began to tell personal stories lived and heard. He writes: “We are all the sum of our memories.”
