Meet San Francisco based artist JOEL DANIEL PHILLIPS. His work focuses on large-scale charcoal portraiture and is inspired by the depth and breadth of the human experience, Phillips strives to tell the stories etched in the faces of those around him. No Regrets In Life examines the people I encounter on a regular basis. Overlooked and unidentified, the renderings are an attempt to play with our voyeuristic tendencies toward the indigence surrounding us, hiding in plain sight. In these portraits, the subjects cease to be dark matter in our communal space and instead are revealed to be the main characters in their own narrative. A true portrait is far more than a rendering of physical form—it is the capturing of the vulnerable, un-invented narratives that make us human. Seeing and understanding these is my ultimate goal.
