  • Catalogue Essay

    It was fascinating to find the outside limit of desire that you see in fashion advertising. It was a way to consider how painting could be used for its manipulative power. The idea was no longer to critique power structures through mimicry but to find the messages in them and let them work on the mind differently. People get confused when they see my shows, but that isn’t the intention. My intention is to destabilize the act of seeing. — Richard Phillips
