John Phillips

John Phillips writes, as the cover of the zine indicates, "an anarchist analysis of Arizona's immigration law" (SB 1070, signed April 23, 2010, which gave Arizona police broad powers to detain anyone suspected of being in the U.S. illegally). Phillips is a Pennsylvanian, but the zine is distributed locally by South Chicago ABC Zine Distro of Homewood, IL.

This exhibition of John Phillips paintings and drawings is the third installment in an ongoing series that surveys a local artist's work over an extended period. This particular exhibit features selections of Phillips' oeuvre from 1979 to the present (2004). Phillips has, from the very beginning as a practicing artist, maintained a commitment to abstraction. -abstract taken from Forward
