Inspiration for my work comes from internalised imagery of my youth growing up in the industrial North East of England . Closing shipyards and coal mines soon reverted to ruins. My work explores remembered imagery of industrial ruins combined with imagery of rural Herefordshire,where I currently live and work.

Two genres,two generations of artistic movements intersect with each other, creating a place where contradictions co exist.Disjunctive kinds of everything, hidden in plain sight, create a realm in which one can lose oneself. ​ Implied abstract imagery reveals conflict between beauty and desolation ,whilst Romanticism and Modernism combine with clashing qualities of drawing and painting. Images develop through a series of intuitive acts. Repeated applications of thin films of ink and paint build depth and patina. Layers are often removed by washing and scrubbing, revealing a palimpsest of faded marks and former painterly decisions, exposing the underbelly, vulnerable and tender. ​ ​To discuss any of Philippa Anderson's original paintings for sale please call 07799535765 or email deborah@wychwoodart.com
