– ABOUT me
My work, past and present
I am Philip Spagat and I use photographs as the basis for my oil paintings, because I have no imagination. This cheap trick results in works that are both realistic and detached from reality. Many of my paintings are lithographs or figures of obscured objects taken out of context and placed in an ambiguous background painted in muted, industrial colors. Just kidding, I make an exact copy of a photograph without adding anything revolutionary or out of the context.I often depict lovemaking and abuse through social media ( Whatsapp, 2019) and use that as the foundation for my art.
Create amazing memories by turning your photos into paintings
Many are the times when majority of us all are scared of losing other memories. In this regard, people always find a way of turning some pictures that remind them different things they treasure into portrait for the sole purpose of preserving the memories since the day painting options arose. Turning the ordinary picture into a beautiful painting has the advantage of preventing the ordinary picture from fading. There are certain pictures especially the ones in black and white that tend to fade. You may never be able to add colour to this fading photo, but you may as well decide to paint it whenever it starts to decay. In this way, you will always have the picture with you.
The other merit of turning photos into painting is that it gives you the chance to turn something so ordinary into something that is quite the masterpiece. When they are already painted you are able to share them by all other means even on websites. People would rather appreciate and admire this painting more than the scrap book you intended on showing them. This is because they will be seeing the exact photo in a different kind of light that is appealing to the eye. The light is majorly the highlighted factor when the picture is turned into painting.
