Stamp Out 2020

About the artists / Week 1
Phil Vance

b. Sonora, CA 1978
An artist obsessed with process, pattern and rhythm.
The common thread running through Phil Vance’s work is “tedium” - an ever increasing level of complexity that aims to break systems, exposing the symbiotic nature of order and chaos.
His current series of portraits “In Their Own Words” looks past the surface of his subjects, and into the depth of who we are as a people, and how we perceive ourselves and others. Using acrylic paints, the artist’s technique of layering and optical mixing brings to life unique portraits of the subjects, using only quotes from their own words.
Mr. Vance’s work asks the question: “Do we remember a person more for how they appear, or for the things they say?”
