UK based artist Phillip Bissell was born and grew up in West Midlands. Showing a keen interest in Cinema has allowed the artist to stand out among his contemporaries by painting the UK cityscapes in the most distinct and quirky manner.
From his love of cinema to classical music, the inspiration and ideas stemmed from watching these performances closely and looking at the detail into how the directors captured and composed their screen shots. This is where the powerfully expressive images he creates allow him to take his work into bold and fresh directions and make him stand out within the art world.
Lines, composition, forms, structure are all essential within Bissell's practice and this intensity created within the marks made drive his images. The cityscapes offers concentrated lines, forms and marks and the fascination to depict them is where Bissell's passion lays. He simplifies his skylines so that the flatness of them compliments the dynamical intensity of the buildings particularly well.
