Richard
Phillips
(American, 1963) is known for his portraits and connections to major
celebrities . Phillips was born in Marblehead, MA, but works and resides in New
York. He received a BFA from Boston University and an MFA from Yale in
Connecticut in 1986. His paintings often are reminiscent of Art Deco and other
magazine styles of the 1950s to 1970s. The images, which usually portray
beautiful women, are large, glossy, and very realistic. He has traditionally
used fashion and even the occasional adult magazine model, and his work has
become an important part of modern pop culture.
