Tom Phillips is a multi-talented artist whose central passion is language and whose genius lies in his ability to generate images that, while concerned with the structure of ideas, also convey a rich coherence of decoration, eloquence and sensuality. Phillips is a prolific artist, but what is most impressive about his oeuvre is the mix of styles and mediums he uses in his art.
