PHIL ILLINGWORTH
ABOUT
"I hoard ideas. Certain things fascinate me for reasons which may be elusive, like a face that seems familiar but which I can't quite place. My practice is about exploring these ideas, and probing for the ingredients which caused them to become rooted in my imagination. My practice is defined by experimentation, and I am more interested in posing questions than in providing answers. My work tends to be driven by concept rather than discrete process, whilst the relationship between concept, the materials I use and form of execution is always carefully considered. My work includes three-dimensional objects, three-dimensional painting, experimental drawing, video and photography."
- Phil Illingworth
Phil Illingworth's work is about painting - yet it is everything but paint on canvas. Rejecting the idea of a single image plane, Illingworth begins with notions of painting in 3-D, and then starts to explore.
Phil Illingworth has exhibited in the UK, the USA, and at the 53rd Venice Biennale. His works have been selected for the John Moores Painting Prize, the Marmite Prize IV, and the Jerwood Drawing Prize.
He lives and works in England and France.
