Bio:

Phyllis Sloane

"The thing that challenges and excites me most in my work is the placing of objects on a given surface. There are wonderful shapes wherever one looks, they only need selecting, combining and organizing. I find a great deal of satisfaction in a balanced composition and in a strong, clear, well-defined image. My tendency has been towards the precisionists and the Japanese printmakers for the total clarity of their vision. I also admire Toulouse Lautrec, Picasso and Lucian Freud for the insights they so ably communicate in their work. I have tried to find a balance between the two in my own work. It may go more in one direction than the other depending upon the variables in my own life.

It can also bend according to the medium that I am using at a given time. My drawings and monoprints being more spontaneous are closer to my emotional core. It takes an effort to maintain that core the longer it takes to complete a work. Matisse wrote that it was difficult to maintain the same frame of mind from one day to the next. I find it exhilarating when I get close. "
