Madonna Phillips Art

American

Madonna Phillips is a glass and mixed media artist who lives and works in North Carolina. Primarily a self-taught artist, she has worked with stained glass, painting, fibers, crafts and sculptural assemblage. She reinvented her approach to glass, creating her technique, combining all her previous experience in diverse mixed media. She cites a connection to Alastair Sooke’s quote in his review "Beauty has made a comeback for Richard Wright’s Turner prize-winning gold leaf painting, “It is only natural when we feel surrounded by darkness and chaos that we yearn for things that are luminous and orderly or to put it another way, beautiful." Phillips’s work addresses physics, the environment, time and the power of light and reflection. Phillip's original art technique in glass and mixed media developed after studying with a master stained glass painter and experimentation. She is inspired by the qualities of glass and its relationship to design, architecture, science and the connections between art and design. Phillips's starting point is usually collages from found materials. These materials are layered and painted, hand-cut pieces of glass are reverse painted and applied to the surface. Around each piece of glass, she pours a clear medium to fuse the piece. The result is a shimmering surface with constantly changing reflection as the viewer passes by.

Madonna Phillips work evolved into mixed media, fabric surface design, and working with glass beads.

Large Painting Photo Collage Martin Luther King African American Civil Rights
Located in Surfside, FL
This depicts civil rights icon MLK, the Statue of Liberty, Iwo Jima, an assemblage of mixed media photographic images and painted collaged elements. A powerful, moving work, an ode to the black civil rights movement. John M. Mitchell is originally from North Carolina, and as an art student at North Carolina Central University, he was involved with the Civil Rights movement including participating and getting arrested at a sit-in protest in Durham in 1963. After graduating, he was one of the first art teachers to take a position at the newly integrated schools in his home state. Mitchell continued his education in the 1990s and earned an MFA in painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1993. He later served as a professor there from 1998-2006. Of his inspiration to create, Mitchell says: "A lot of my work is based on my experiences during the Civil Rights movement," he says. "I see art making as a 'record' of experiences. My bittersweet past, growing up in the segregated South, inspires the content, focus and narrative of my work." Savannah-based artist John Mitchell believes that a home is more than a simple edifice. Rather, he argues that the sociological, psychological, architectural, and historical associations embedded in the structure “tell us about our culture, our lives. It tells us about where we come from.” Mitchell's signature shotgun house constructions, crafted from found materials and scraps of newspaper headlines, reference his childhood in North Carolina, where such modest architectural structures were once commonplace. In "ALA 1963," he uses the shotgun shape to create a heartfelt memorial to a group of African-American girls killed in a racially motivated church bombing in Alabama nearly 50 years ago. He also incorporates the shotgun symbol in "Victims," a powerful reflection upon crime in Savannah in the early 1990s, which reveals how little has changed over the past two decades. Mitchell's mixed media constructions operate, in many ways, like memory itself. Scraps, fragments and pieces loosely cohere around a central idea, making symbolic and metaphorical connections. In these richly narrative and boldly stream-of-conscious assemblages, the whole truly is greater than the sum of its parts. Mitchell's jazz collages...
