We've been admiring Philip's work for some time now and so we're thrilled to have some of his work at the gallery.
Philip Maltman's aim is to dictate the contents of a painting through manually working the paint, rarely allowing the paint to work too much by itself through technical experiment or chemical treatment, which can produce startling yet ultimately vacuous results. Accidents may see paint frequently “doing its own thing” and this is considered and modified where necessary. The painting is then complemented by drawing and handwritten text.
We have some unframed pieces in the gallery to view, and will have the framed work available in the gallery and here on the website soon.
