Richard Phillips

Exploring self-awareness in contemporary art, Richard Phillips employs collaborative image production to redefine the relationship between pop art and its subjects. His films featuring Lindsay Lohan and Sasha Grey serve as erotic "motion portraits," while his partnership with supermodel Adriana Lima resulted in striking paintings set against iconic Brazilian landmarks. By presenting his subjects as living paintings, Phillips offers a provocative commentary on their mediated existence. The book is richly illustrated with film stills and artworks, enhancing the exploration of his artistic vision.
