By playing with childish drawing lines, vivid colors, and a smart light and shadow effect, Dublin-based artist Philip Gerald creates a unique style of floral still-life paintings. His works meticulously emulate digital handmade pictures, since they are actually acrylic on canvas.
Philip Gerald’s paintings aim to narrate and characterise his own anxieties in the least serious way possible. Pointlessly recreating crude, digital drawings with analogue techniques, his subtly painted saccharine images depict figures and scenarios draped in a veil of humour and unease.
