Look Out (Impression 2 of Henry Moore's Reclining Woman: Elbow 1981) 50 x 70 cms, acrylic on canvas £285* My second impression of Henry’s Woman was to see her from the back as she looks out into the distance, vigilant night and day. 2010 |

Elephant 76 x 61 cms, acrylic on canvas £2,750* A painting in celebration of my first art teacher, Itsuki Matayoshi, who began to show me about escape and return. 2006 – 2010 |

Stretch (Impression 1 of Henry Moore's Reclining Woman: Elbow 1981) 50 x 70 cms, acrylic on canvas £285* A return to Leeds meant a renewal of my love affair with Henry Moore’s woman outside the Art Gallery. I saw her stretching with sensuous body and mysterious face. 2010 |

Linton Brick Room (after Linton Brick Room, a community centre in Linton, South Derbyshire) 124.5 x 63 cms inc. frame, acrylic on mdf £1,945* Linton Brick Room is a functioning community centre in a South Derbyshire village. The people solved the problem of vandalism by bricking up the windows and carrying on regardless. When you walk past, the building somehow glows happily. The image of LBR stuck in my head and had to be painted – a sort of embodiment of the contrasts and contradictions of within and without. 2009 |

Angie Phillip (Aja)
Angie started painting seriously in 1996 when she returned to the UK from Papua New Guinea. She worked as an applied linguist both overseas and in the UK until 2007. She likes working collaboratively with other artists, poets and musicians to produce works where one art form complements another. The Hidden Woman paintings & poems was the first such venture and there are others planned. In 2008 she joined with Wilko, a German painter, and Dai Harding from Wales to form the group Zwischenproject and the group has recently exhibited in Germany.
The pictures on show are taken from the series Escape and Return and were painted over a period of two years during which time Angie lived in Germany, South Derbyshire and finally, Leeds. Her painting signature is Aja.
