PHILIP MCKAY
Self-taught digital artist Philip is also a master of disguise. Posing as a character within his pieces, the photographer and computer whizz creates surreal worlds where anything is possible. His eerie, dreamlike landscapes are the product of an eccentric imagination and a talent for composition. Using Photoshop, he manipulates photographs to create works inspired by surrealist artists like Storm Thorgerson and René Magritte. Along with exhibitions in his hometown of Liverpool, Philip has appeared at prestigious events like Biennale Arte 2015. His work has also featured on CD and book covers, including classical composer Michael Price’s albums and By the Light of the Moon by American author Dean Koontz. Further accolades include features in Aesthetica and Advanced Photoshop magazine. Philip says: “ My images are idiotic, desolate landscapes that evoke a sense of peace and tranquillity. I includemyself in a lot of my work by dressing up in costumes and disguises.”
