Richard Phillips: Lindsay Lohan

Overview

Richard Phillips was born in 1962 in Massachusetts during a socially and politcally turbulent time. His work as an artist is world renowned, iconic and largely recognisable. The popular large scale and hyper realistic paintings have been shown in numerous galleries including Le Consortium in Dijon, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Modern in London. In short - he's big news.

Lindsay Lohan, y'all know and definitely does not need much of an introduction. She's big, big celebrity news.

Richard Phillips and Lindsay Lohan may sound like an unlikely artistic pair, but the more you think about what they collectively represent, you realise it makes sense. Richard predominately features women from popular culture in his work and especially loves 'wasted beauty'. And well, what a succinct way to describe Lindsay and her career?

For those intrigued, the Institute of Modern Art is currently screening Richard Phillips’ Lindsay Lohan, which incredibly makes her seem almost sane and talented.
