ART: Philip Gladstone

Halfway (2009) by Philip Gladstone

"Philip Gladstone (born 1963) is an artist best known for his story-telling, evocative — and sometimes provocative — tableaux featuring an ensemble cast of nude men. Gladstone’s diverse body of work can be understood as an ongoing pursuit of a profoundly personal, allegorical exercise in self-portraiture — a collection of loosely related, colorful fables populated by figures the artist creates to stand in for himself, 'characters' invented to express a state of mind, to tease a multi-layered, subjective story, or to attempt to conjure a vision of a universally shared experience for the artist’s audience."
