Philip Gerrard is an award-winning British artist, who creates large-scale 'still life' oil paintings using 'contemporary realism'.

Fusing the principles of classical composition with both traditional and cutting-edge paint techniques, enables Philip Gerrard to create modern paintings with depth of colour and subtle luminosity.

Philip Gerrard’s practice has been developed over many years, through dedicated study, which has given him a huge appreciation and knowledge of traditional draftsmanship. His oil paintings are detailed and realistic but never overworked and always relevant to the 21st century collector:

“Elements which detract from the viewer's experience are excluded or reduced, and aspects which require increased significance are exaggerated. This is all part of my style.”

Art and paintings have always been a major part of Philip Gerrard’s life, and he has been a full-time painter for nearly 30 years. He has exhibited extensively throughout the UK, featured in numerous magazines, and received recognition through various awards.

Philip Gerrard’s British Art is much sought after and hangs in private collections in the UK, USA, China and Australia and is available for viewing at Red Rag Gallery.
