Artist Statement
Philip Gebhardt is an abstract artist based out of Hudson, NY. With a zealous and gestural style, his works go through phases of deconstruction and reworking, creating a dynamic, emotion inducing result. His work is textured, holding a space within painting and drawing, declaring moments of both figurative and abstract fragments. Philip works spontaneously while analyzing his application process, conscious of how each brushstroke plays off one another. His work emulates the constant breakdown and build up of the environment around us, inspired by both natural and human forces.
Philip is a life long New York State resident who developed a passion for art making at a young age. He studied art at Fairleigh Dickinson University before receiving a BFA from Marist College. He has a Masters in Art Teaching from The School of Visual Arts with 15 years of teaching experience working in both New York City and the Hudson Valley. Philip has a studio in Hudson, NY which he also uses as a venue for group art exhibits
