In the world of Austin artist Brian Phillips, dumpsters contain treasure, and gold can be struck in a scrap pile by the side of the road. The reclaimed wood that forms the foundation of his work is often rife with blemishes, knots, and nail holes. Working in a shed (originally built 40 years ago from salvaged materials) that Brian then converted into a studio/workshop, Brian cuts, planes, paints, and reassembles these rejected pieces into something wholly new. Many styles for his many moods. A resident of Austin, Texas, Brian’s work embraces the beauty and resilience of his home state. His work is ultimately a celebration of life and everything that makes it worth living.
