ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Organic, unplanned textures and designs that emerge in the urban environment are fascinating to me. Surfaces that have been stained or worn away over time by weather and continuous actions of daily life shows a time-lapse and merges both natural and human-made elements. To me, this invokes a sense of rawness and authenticity and offers a different perspective on our relationship with nature by blurring the lines between natural and artificial.  This painting was created by a multi-step process of layering, abrading and re-layering to achieve various textural, organic effects. Painted on a hand crafted, high quality birch panel, this piece includes a 1.8 inch wooden edge border and is not intended to be framed. Arrives ready to hang.

Originally from Mobile, Alabama (US), Phillip Livingston is a contemporary American artist in Greenville, South Carolina. Combining elements of typography, pop art and abstract expressionism, his paintings explore the relationship between nature and civilization. Inspiration comes from studying the raw aesthetic of urban decay – textures and marks that are a result of continuous daily activity and exposure to the elements, such as rust stained concrete walls, weathered signage, worn pavement, and surfaces in various states of transition, and how the 'new' overlaps the old. This juxtaposition reveals a constant state chaos and order and instills a unique sense of authenticity as it tells the never-ending story of nature and civilization. Phillip received a BFA in Graphic Design and Painting from the University of South Alabama, and completed his graduate studies in Art Direction at The Portfolio Center in Atlanta. Before becoming a full-time artist, he worked a multi year career in advertising as an art director and graphic designer.
