Biography
Born in 1937 in London, Tom Phillips is something of a polymath, having initially studied English at Oxford where he took drawing courses alongside his degree. He continued this artistic training at the Camberwell School of Art, where he took classes with Frank Auerbach.
In 1965 he had his first solo exhibition in London and has gone from strength to strength since then. Tom Phillips has exhibited at countless institutions around the world, from the National Portrait Gallery in London to the New York Public Library. Not only is he a prolific visual artist, but he has also written an opera, translated Dante's Inferno, and worked on numerous theater designs.
Varying in style and subject matter from Pop Art to portraits, Tom's art has earned him international recognition throughout his career. This recognition includes the Art Hunting Prize in 1988 and his election to the Royal Academy in 1984.
