Patrick Phipps is an artist living and working in Houston, Texas.
He prefers to work on paper for the immediacy and pleasure in making marks. His subject matter ranges from high abstract ideas to low pop cultural references. He enjoys the tension between these two worlds and tries to incorporate elements of both in his work.
His work is primarily concerned with the human condition and he explores themes of abjection and beauty equally. Phipps hopes to capture the feeling of being dumb or silly or wrong in his work. It is this feeling that for him ties humanity together.
