Phillip Allen : Deepdrippings

11 Feb-25 Mar 2017

Overview

Kerlin Gallery is delighted to present Deepdrippings, an exhibition of new paintings by Phillip Allen. Since graduating from art college in London in the early 1990s, Phillip Allen has pursued a path in painting that has taken him from illusionistic, semi-figurative landscapes, to arriving over the past decade at total abstraction. Consistent throughout the evolution of Allen's practice has been his fascination with the sculptural qualities of paint. This has never been more evident than in his new series, Deepdrippings, where the artist has intensively worked and re-worked the paintings, in some cases for several years, to create a deeply layered surface abundant with impasto paint.
