Matt Phillips' abstract paintings on view at DIMIN

DIMIN gallery is currently featuring a solo show titled 'Matt Phillips: Recent Paintings,' highlighting the abstract works of this Brooklyn-based artist. Phillips employs a limited range of elements, including grids, curves, geometric forms, texture, and color, to create complex and engaging visual interactions. He believes that poetry arises from the balance of simplicity and complexity. In a discussion with artist and writer Jason Stopa for the Brooklyn Rail in 2024, Phillips shared insights about his painting technique, which emphasizes light, spontaneity, and the creative struggle between confidence and uncertainty. Stopa likened Phillips' approach to the improvisational nature of music.
