This drawing is made with felt pens on 200g ivory card. Drawing provides me with imagery and form to then consider, and if need be take into another medium.
About the artist:
Born 1967 UK, Phillip Allen lives and work in London. Graduated from BA Fine Art, Kingston University (1990); and MA Fine Art Royal College of Art (1992).
“As I see it, Allen has really struck out on his own path. He is a sojourner interested in the relationship between materiality and the sublime, and between the physical and the ineffable, without coming to a conclusion. This is why his paintings remain open. More important, for all of his interest in paint’s materiality, he has never settled into a signature style.” – John Yau, Hyper Allergic
