Phil Ashcroft

I love when I see art that looks like the abstract landscapes of some dream that I’ve had. Art that can convey powerful emotion while remaining relatively minimal. In fact, it may be what I live for. A few examples of the work of English artist Phil Ashcroft.

“The unknown is a space at once fascinating and fearful by mankind’s technological advances and the romantic notion that there still lies undiscovered elements to the world in which we live. A derelict hospital, oil depots, nuclear power stations, the abominable snowman; collectively these semi-surreal settings and cartoon-like motifs appear as mysterious manifestations, phenomena both real and imagined.”

You Still Think of Him Sometimes

Just picked up this new Jordan Crane print for the house. I really like the color pallate that he’s used. There’s definitely a scary/sexy thing happening here… kind of like the Spice Girls. As an ex-screenprinter I have a ton of respect for such tight registration and the use of transparent inks (It’s a whole lot harder than it seems).   |  BUY
