Renee Phillips
As a process-based artist, Renee explores the manipulation of paint, and layering of color, to achieve sculptural like results that droop, ripple, crack and pool on the surface. Further engaging the elements of heat, wind, water and gravity, she pushes paint to its limit, allowing each color to display its individual ‘signature effect’, which is studied, layered and re-worked to reveal highly tactile and seductive surfaces that characterize her contemporary color field paintings.
The daughter of a scientist and a lover of nature, Renee grew up between the South Florida beaches and the Colorado mountains and, at a young age, learned through hands on exploration of her environment. She received her BA in Fine Art from the University of Miami, FL, and continued her art education at the University of Paris, France, and the School of Visual Arts in NYC. She has presented her work internationally in numerous group and solo shows. Recent exhibitions include Kunstleben Berlin, Soho House West Hollywood, CA, Aqua Art Miami, Pen & Brush Gallery NYC and Muriel Guepin Gallery NYC. Her works have been acquired for private and corporate collections around the world.
Renee has set up a garage studio at her home in Delray Beach, FL and has been keeping herself busy both in and out of the studio at Arts Warehouse. She recently co-curated the group exhibition, PINK, with multidisciplinary artist, Dana Donaty, exploring the cultural narrative of the color pink.
