Bright, light and playfully inventive in a way that looks easy but patently isn’t; Philip Miner’s paintings exude warmth in every way possible.
They seem to be the joint product of good-nature and good weather. Strong colours are employed impeccably, balanced in a way that ensures they resound. Lightness does not mean lightweight however and Miner’s compositions are not simply superficially stylish. A kind of problem solving is clear within them, a ready intelligence, and it is this which makes them so convincing.
