Cece Philips British, b. 1996

Cece Philips is a self-taught visual artist based in London drawn to large scale figurative works. Placing her work in the intersection between real and imagined, Philips often uses archival writings and found historical photographs to inspire the figures she paints.

Interweaving past and present to imagine these stories, Philips works predominantly in oil paint, exploring how both colour and negative space can be used to amplify these tales. The artist's current body of work explores the relationships between women and power, thinking about how expressions of influence have historically been depicted through cultural signifiers and body language, and how this can be reimagined.
