Philip Gladstone, “Alone”, Acrylic on Panel, 2016

Born in Philadelphia in 1963, Philip Gladstone now lives and works in the highlands of Maine, creating his works in a renovated barn studio. He is known for his story-telling, evocative and also provocation works featuring an assembled cast of nude men. His work is an ongoing pursuit of a personal and allegorical exercise in self-portraiture, fables populated by figures invented to express a state of mind or to lure the viewer into a multi-layered subjective story.
