Laura Rathe Fine Art - RAY PHILLIPS "Reversion" March 2013

On Saturday, March 23, 2013, contemporary artist Ray Phillips will introduce his new works at Laura Rathe Fine Art, 2707 Colquitt St. in Houston. Reversion, which features the iconography of pop culture ranging from James Bond to Popeye, is the artist’s first new collection since his return home to the Bayou City from Galveston and his first solo show since 2009.“Galveston was cool for the time I was there,” observes Phillips, “but it was time to get out. It’s a vast difference from Houston, and I was having ‘concrete jungle’ withdrawals. It sounds cliché, but there’s no scene like downtown Houston. I missed the hipsters, the culture, the sounds, the smells... everything.” Phillips utilizes a combination of typography, abstract composition, collage, and mixed media on large canvasses and wood panels. Reversion calls to mind the imagery the artist embraced in his youth, generating bold works that run the gamut from “hero worship” to whimsical adoration.
