About this artwork
Matter and energy spring forth, spread, crystallise... metastasise. After an age, life leaps anew from the dead, frozen, long-forgotten icy core--elements restlessly circling, coming together and coalescing, seeking final form and organisation....
Parhelion began this painting in 2008 and considered it a failure from the very first stroke of paint on the canvas. He knew the painting was off from the moment the paint left the brush, and every stroke… thereafter just seemed to make it worse. At last he put it away under a sheet, thinking never to see it again. He'd toyed with the title "Recrudescence" whilst executing the work, but that message didn't come through at all. He called it "Metastasis" to reflect its frozen state. 6 years later, he decided to finally revive it under the original title, since "recrudescence" means a period of activity after a long period of stillness. When the new paint reached a high enough level of complexity the original message came through.
« I aim to directly communicate symbolism to the viewer, bypassing preconceived notions and striking to the heart of the relationship between viewer and artwork, observer and observed. »
Fred Phillips, also known as Parhelion, is a painter based in Barbados whose works highlight the act of creation itself as the ultimate message. He views life as vibrant, filled with riotous energy that is in constant motion, which he embodies in his works through the use of raw colors. For Phillips, a spontaneous demonstration of creativity is the very antithesis of despair. His abstract expressionist works are created using acrylics on canvas.
