This exceptional monoprint (monotype?) is by the noted abstract artist Phil Sims (1940-). It is a beautiful, fluid example of abstract expressionist printmaking. I also have another work by Phil Sims listed on Chairish.

Phil Sims is born in 1940 in Richmond, California.

Before turning to painting, Sims was a potter and a ceramic artist.

In the mid- 1960s he attends the San Francisco Art Institute, and he is now considered a master in the use of color as an expressive medium.

At the beginning of his artistic education, he looks at the use of color by the Abstract Expressionism artists.

His early career develops as part of the artistic group Radical Painters (Marcia Hafif, Joseph Marioni, Olivier Mosset and Jerry Zeniuk). However, in 1984, after the group exhibition Radical Painting, the group splits up and each artist decides to follow a more personal artistic path.

He is known for his minimal art and non-objective imagery. Sims’s work is held in many collections and museums worldwide.
