STATEMENT

As a collage artist, I never set out to create a certain piece. However, my work does reflect the inner workings of my mind. My pieces allow me to say what I need to say; sometimes what many others think, but won’t say. My work is easily said to be a reflection of me, my inner self and beliefs.

BIO

Sean Phillips is a collage artist and graphic designer who was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, but now resides in Bakersfield, California. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in graphic design from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. While he often works in graphic design, his true passion and artistic drive lies in the art of collage. To Sean, collage is playful and dramatic, even surreal and absurd. His focus is on creating works that are, often times, controversial but hold a sense of dark beauty with a vintage sense of design. Working with torn paper, scissors, and glue, he works to create art that speaks out to viewer, stirring emotions and thoughts to ideas that seem to take their place on the backburner of society.
