Renee Phillips
Renee is a graduate of the University of Miami and currently shares her time in Delray Beach, Florida, and New York City. Investigating the natural world at both macro and micro levels, Renee aims to freeze moments in time and evolutionary progress.
The observation of life cycles throughout natural and urban environments allows her to translate the constantly changing rhythms of growth, decay, rebirth, and regeneration onto each substrate. Renee's process relies heavily on learned alchemical techniques, intuition, and physicality. An intensive layering and re-working of the canvas results in highly tactile and seductive surfaces: paint is poured on; sanded off; manipulated with the elements of heat, wind, and water; glazed; enameled and reapplied until a certain energetic frequency is achieved.
