In our new ongoing series, Mixtape, we take a look at New Hampshire based artist Michael Phillips.  A young and talented individual, who in his recent work is striking at the chore of abstract painting with a fresh and fascinating visual vocabulary.  Regardless of his location or geographical demographic the talented painter strikes at the heart of his fellow metropolitan peers.  We discovered Michael through mutual friends and the owners of Kelley Stelling Contemporary, an up and coming gallery located in Manchester, New Hampshire.

As we bid farewell to the space, we remind ourselves that since its inception, one of Launch F18’s attributes has been its willingness to be malleable which, over the past 6 years, has landed us in new spaces, promoted new adventures and above all, new oppertunites for our artists.

Among this exhibition’s beautifully made works is a life-size representation of a sidewalk mailbox lying on its side. Stripped of all extraneous details and colored entirely powder blue, it has an almost immaterial quality; it’s a Platonic ideal of the standard mailbox.

Planned, organized and curated by Painting Professor Richard Heipp, the exhibition includes the work of 26 artists representing each of the school’s studio areas of concentration and features a wide variety of media, styles and approaches.

Nathaniel Robinson will be participaing in the group exhibition "The Now Forver" at Basilica Hudson.  The exhibition dialogues with the MoMA 2014 show, “The Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World.”
