ARTIST CV

Philip wright

Portland, Oregon

I am a multi-discipline artist whose primary medium is photography. I focus on portraiture and conceptual surreal portraiture. My images are an exploration and abstraction of interpersonal relationships that lie in paradox. Of beauty within the ugly, the sinister and honorable. The sexy and the repulsive. I want to evoke an appreciation of danger and the Id while recognizing the potential and hope within. These images reflect and distill my fears, anxieties, insecurities, and perception. In here are concepts of gender, self doubt, bias, sexuality, society and mental health. The subjects are proxies for my own experiences, nostalgia, and musings.
