"My motto is "Enjoy life".
I hope that doesn't need an explanation."
-Brian Phillips
Phillips imagery combines elements of Picasso, Basquiat, lowbrow, and primitive. Often painting on recycled materials such as floor boards, door frames, and moldings, his vivid colors, contrasts, and cropped compositions are imbued with a vibrancy and intensity all their own.
You’ve seen his work at Nicky Blaine’s, Arthouse 60, Allotropy, and ORANJE. Phillips also produced the poster for Indy Jazz Fest, 2004.
Brians’ work will be on exhibit from June 5 through June 27. Stop by on opening night or visit us during our regular hours, Fridays and Saturdays, 12 – 4 p.m.

WHERE: Historic Fountain Square, AV Framing Gallery, 1139 Shelby St.
WHEN: June 5 - June 27, 2009
SPECIAL EVENTS: Artist in the Gallery on Friday June 5, 2009, 5-9pm.

“There’s a Room in My Head”. Come on; you didn’t get that?
“There’s a Room in My Head”
canvas paintings by Mike Altman opens at AV Framing Gallery, Fountain Square on June 5, 2009.
This show takes a look at Altman's canvas paintings, exploring the world of music, some of which appear on recycled wallpaper.
"Mike Altman growing up never wanted to be anything but an artist... well, ok, maybe Batman for a while.” Altman uses simple line work and bold colors to illustrate a sometimes complex message. Altman's work can be laced with symbolism, satire, spirituality, and double-meanings. And then sometimes he just paints a picture of a blue cow that is... a blue cow…and of course some robots...
