Nicholas Phillips

Born: 1956, Malaysia, Penang

Painter, printmaker and designer. The son of a rubber planter working in Malaysia. His family returned to England circa 1960 where Phillips attended boarding school before entering the Slade School of Fine Art graduating from the latter in 1978. He continued to produce varied work including prints, paintings and constructions which were purchased by varied collections in the 1980s. By 1989 Phillips began a new business supplying decorative finishes to architectural features with patrons including the Queen of Jordan (Royal Palace of Amman), John Pawson (Tokyo), and Anouska Hempel (Paris). He began painting again in 2000 and now concentrates on realist watercolours which mimic the compositions and soft focal effects of close-up photography. Subjects are typically female figures engaged in mundane tasks in staged settings or snapshots of still lifes from modern interiors
