ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Mark Gertlers' Carousel is one of my favourite paintings and captures the political unease of its time. Today in Britain I feel a sense of similar unease, of powerlessness and injustice. This work started life as a painting of a merrygoround, which I then digitally manipulated, fusing imported headwear for the figures in order to emphasise their role. Using the emulsion transfer technique I then printed this image on to board mounted on a plinth . As ever the first results were pleasingly disfigured and scratchy. I then painted each figure and the background in acrylics and finally emulsion printed the poisonous fungi to reflect the pompous headwear of the establishment figures. The work is signed on the back. It will be shipped ready to hang but unframed.

Phil's ideas for art stem from media reports of social or political issues, and generally deal with the interplay between truth and fiction. His work addresses the representation of politics, that is, how the artist can best depict the issues that concern him, and the politics of representation, how issues are depicted in the media. He selects the approach to a work, 2D, 3D, 4D or XD, after exploring which best suits the particular subject.
