Phillip Harrell is a Texan painter who makes every moment count with beautiful colour splashes. Of his work he says:

Every moment in these paintings counts; there is no turning back other than hiding. The resultant images single out references: small moments in daily life, idioms, pop culture. Aspects of the mundane separate from the goals of abstraction and painting, but are built using its language. It’s nearly impossible to escape its language and I don’t intend to, for the love of paint!
