I make paintings, sculptures and films most of which end up looking like scattered fragments of a lost theatrical machine. They are based on musical instruments and characters I met on my many travels around Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Here's a review-24-Hour Museum and Timeout: "Man or Iron: sculpture exhibition at The Brunel Museum, Rotherhithe (June - September 2007)."From the industrial debris of east London, Russian born Philip Firsov creates a savage hymn to engineering and art. Men are machines, women are musical monsters and butcher's slabs turn into people. These sad and vicious pieces owe as much to Dalston market as they do to Gogol and Baba Yaga His work draws on the folklore and musical heritage of Eastern Europe."
