Color Alchemy
process, material, color
“My process emerged from scientific experiments in the studio, but the artwork comes to life with the physicality of movement - an interaction between myself, the materials, and the laws of gravity and matter.”
Renee Phillips
As a process-based artist, I often turn the art studio into a science lab. I manipulate enamel, latex and spray paint to achieve sculptural like results that droop, ripple, crack and pool on the surface.
Further engaging the elements of heat, wind, water and gravity, I push paint to its limit. I allow each color to display its individual ‘signature effect’, which is studied, layered and re-worked to reveal highly tactile and seductive surfaces that characterize my contemporary color field paintings.
“The uniqueness of Phillips’ process arrests movement and allows paint to visually dazzle viewers in refreshing and visceral ways that feel like new ground is being broken.”
