A show of paintings from David Phillips (Tenfields)'

From depictions of a small town in Michigan to forgotten recollections of our own Stroud hills this exhibition offers a glimpse into the singular visions of a fascinating artist. 

These paintings each offer a view into a world rooted in the curious observations he makes on site. They are imbued with a characteristic sense of myth; characters, buildings and hills move as translucent phantoms across landscapes which are simultaneously bucolic and ancient but somehow also feel like visions from a future we might live in years to come. 

David is 'fascinated by the utilisation of myth by artists as a conduit for ideas. In contemporary society, the narratives of the gods appear to be arcane but the themes of power, love, envy, justice and revenge are eternal. As the interaction between mankind and nature is a central theme in such mythology it should be even more relevant today.'
