Inhaltsangabe

The bright, colourful oil paintings in this book show portraits of men and women, frequently nude representations borrowed from pornography, occasionally also animals or contemporary sculptures. They are all based on the appropriation of found images which the artist takes from magazines, the Internet or other mass media. The use of existing images stored in the cultural memory of the society puts Phillips into the tradition of the so-called "appropriation art" of the eighties. In some pictures, the artist consciously reveals the technique on which his photo-realistic manner of painting is based, leaving the grid necessary for the proportional transfer of the model to the canvas exposed in some places. Philips invariably makes an issue of the blurring of the borders between advertisement, lifestyle, pornography and fashion and thus questions their ambivalent relationships.
