David Phillips has been a member of the Lincolnshire artist society for 20 years. His work is mainly figurative, with elements of abstraction in some pieces. It is influenced by his life experiences and his interest in German expressionism, American artists such as Grant Wood and Edward Hopper, and British artist Stanley Spencer. Davids’s portraiture work is mainly within the mediums of oil paint and charcoal. He regularly receives commissions and have produced artwork for individuals and establishments from all over the UK, including illustrations for a book of short stories.
