Daniel Phill

"Movement & Color"

April 5 ~ May 2, 2007

Daniel Phill, originally from Washington State, has combined solid artistic training (San Francisco Art Institute and Stanford) with two decades of dedicated innovation. He studied with several Bay Area legends, including Nathan Oliviera and Jack Jefferson, and the latter’s influence is seen in the way Phill constructs three dimensional illusions through the interplay of puzzle-like segments of color on canvas or paper.

The surfaces of the artist's paintings record the spontaneous building up and scraping away of paint to create almost organic shapes. Phill’s works are lively and vividly colorful, emerging from a palette of rich, saturated hues. The vibrant fields of color and bold compositions imbue his paintings with a sense of space and motion that seem to suggest landscapes. One writer aptly dubbed these daring creations “lyrical abstractions.”

Mr. Phill has exhibited widely from San Francisco to New York, garnering praise and attention from prestigious publications such as Art In America, Art News and The New Yorker. His works form part of the permanent collections of the Achenbach Foundation, Tucson Museum of Art, Ernst & Young Corporate and the U.S. State Department. He has shown with the Eleonore Austerer Gallery
