The Performing Art Series Presents Exhibit, Artist’s Reception Featuring Works by Phillip Spinks

The Performing Art Series is pleased to support the local art community by hosting a special exhibit featuring the artwork of Phillip Spinks, a celebrated painter and printmaker.

An artist’s reception will take place on Sunday, April 9 from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. at the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage South End office located at 10 Berkeley St. in Boston. The reception and exhibit, on display at the office through September, are free and open to the public.

Spinks, who was born in Nuremberg, West Germany, came to Boston University nearly 20 years ago to study engineering, creative writing and archaeology and has called Boston’s South End neighborhood his home ever since. After graduation, he followed a path incorporating his education into a life as a painter and printmaker. In addition to private collections, his works are on display in several large Boston corporate offices and he has participated in numerous juried exhibitions here in the U.S. as well as in Germany.

Much of Spinks’ work is based on what remained of his parents’ and grandparents’ homes in New Orleans which gutted by the storm surge caused by Hurricane Katrina - fragments of memories and times gone by. He saw the austere beauty in the imagery that remained, and instead of allowing the loss of the images to create a void in his mind, he chose to reclaim these memories and create a new vehicle to contain them.
