BIOGRAPHY

Philip Hamrick, an American artist hailing from Athens, Georgia, brings a unique blend of influences to his work. With a BFA in drawing and painting and a BA in history from the University of Georgia, his artistic approach is a fascinating amalgamation of these disciplines.

Hamrick, a native of Atlanta born in 1975, uses his art to delve into the complexities of modern society. His work, influenced by the political and religious landscape of his upbringing, is a testament to his skepticism and his fascination with propaganda and narrative. Drawing inspiration from artists like Joan Mitchell and Ellis Wilson, as well as authors like Howard Zinn and James Baldwin, Hamrick’s art is a powerful critique of the status quo and a deep exploration of the power structures in American culture.
