Review: Philip Campbell at Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art
NUVO MAGAZINE
By Dan Grossman
INDIANA---Art is alchemy. It can change your mood from lead to gold. Inspire you. Maybe even change your life. If you don't believe these things, you must see Indy resident Philip Campbell's work at iMOCA. Start with the enormous catfish, crowned with a gold lotus, circling around a boat. Carved from African mahogany, painted with high flow acrylic, the 26-panel piece fills an entire wall in iMOCA's middle gallery, measuring 22.5 by 11.5 feet. The symbiosis between wood-carving and painting is seamless. [link]
