Biography | Artist Statement | Reviews | Galleries | Event Calendar

Philip Mix was born in Edmonton Alberta in 1955. His formal art education came from the Alberta College of Art,
Calgary and he received his Bachelor of Arts in painting in 1980. The following year he gave his first One Man show at
the Muttart Gallery, Calgary and was represented by Virginia Christopher Gallery. In 1984 he attended summer session
at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 1986 he returned to Canada and started a conservation studio Fine Art
Restoration in Victoria B.C. He became a member of the Pacific Conservation Group, and Canadian Conservation
Associates. In 1992 Philip took a hiatus to travel to France and painted for six months the environs of Languedoc,
Narbonne. Then he set up studio for one year in Paphos ,Cyprus, and guest lectured at the Cyprus College of Art in
Lemba. The collective paintings from this period were shown by Cadogan Gallery in London, England. He returned to
Vancouver Island and eventually designed and built an in-home art studio in Chemainus B.C. Philip enjoys continued
success with his developing style and is presently represented by several British Columbia and Alberta galleries.

With a strong interpretative design sense and evident admiration of Modern art, the works of Philip Mix display an elegant thoughtfulness, a balance of convention with a probing inventiveness.

Artist Statement | Biography | Reviews | Galleries | Event Calendar

My search has been one of seeking the 'elegance of simplicity. Of late, I have made several significant strides towards that goal. First is the principle of colour economy based on a personal theory of tones and chromatic scale that I have been mulling over for two decades. This basically states that a colour is best determined by noting its effect when it is in proximity to a colour of like and/or opposite value, thereby creating triads or trios of neighbouring zones. Next is the economy of space: the seamless union of multiple perspectives and the soft contours of form merging into a geometric playground. Last is creating compositions as a stage for metaphysical metaphors, including now and then a little bit of practical fun.
