Richard Phillips selected ten of America’s most instantly recognisable celebrities from the realms of television, cinema and music to create distilled portraits of young, powerful stars exhibiting their rehearsed, red-carpet expressions. Phillips’ two-metre high canvases of Chace Crawford, Kristen Stewart, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen, Dakota Fanning, Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift and Robert Pattinson line the gallery walls, and Phillips has depicted these famous faces against ‘step and repeat’ backdrops, familiar to film premieres and awards ceremonies, which display a variety of luxury brand logos.
Each portrait features a bright, multi-colour halo - a reference to Richard Bernstein’s illustrations from Interview magazine. The halo emphasises the electric stardom of these secular deities while simultaneously flattening their image, melding them into the brands they represent, as if on a decal or trading card.
A limited number of individual prints are available. Please email editions@whitecube.com for more information.
