Opening Reception June 4, 5:30-7:30pm, Exhibition June 2-June 27, 2015
Sandra Lee Gallery is proud to present new paintings by Bay Area artist Daniel Phill, entitled Rhythm & Flux. In this show, Mr. Phill interprets nature through the use of sophisticated colors, vigorous brushwork, and emphatic facture. As the show's title implies, his works vacillate between contrasting ideas - abstract and representational, deliberate and spontaneous, serene and wild - engaging the viewer to discover Phill's unique visual language.
A fluid application of paint, using non-traditional painting tools, contributes to achieve results that are intensely colorful and often sensuous. In each painting, Phill's use of color dramatizes the illusion of space and light to produce an ambiance of both energy and serenity. He seems to deconstruct the natural environment, to then reconstruct it - using an improvised painterly expressionism. "The excitement for me is referencing an object by using loose gestures and seemingly very little information," Phill says.
Daniel Phill can be seen as the spontaneous sower of seeds, who casts them into a space with abandon, prepared to work with nature, cultivating whatever takes root. Although he identifies with many of the principles and techniques of Abstract Expressionism, he relishes the ambiguity between abstraction, figuration and the illusion of space in his paintings.
Born in Washington State. Mr. Phill received his MFA from Stanford University and his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Phill has exhibited widely and his work is in diverse public and private collections, including: Achenbach Foundation, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Citigroup Clear Channel de Saisset Museum, CA First USA Bank GTE Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University, WI Morgan Stanley Nordstrom Santa Clara Valley Medical Center SAP America Sharper Image Sprint Stanford UniversityTucson Museum of Art and The US Department of State, among others.
