DESCRIPTION:Joel Daniel Phillips\n“I Am Another Yourself” - a debut solo show 
 \nSeptember 6th - September 27th\n\nHashimoto Contemporary is proud to 
 present "I Am Another Yourself", the debut solo show by represented gallery 
 artist Joel Daniel Phillips. Featuring a range of new charcoal and graphite 
 portraits, this month’s exhibit sheds light on those who are frequently 
 overlooked and unidentified in San Francisco’s changing urban 
 landscape.\n\nAfter moving to the mid-Market neighborhood several years 
 ago, Phillips embraced sketching as a way to connect with and learn about 
 his local community. The young artist began approaching the men and women 
 who lived within a 150 foot radius of his apartment, learning their names 
 and listening to their stories. Accumulating a collection of photographs 
 for reference material, Phillips set about meticulously rendering the 
 portraits of his neighbors with staggering realism. Employing a classical 
 manner of composition, each figure is isolated center stage upon the page. 
 Phillips’ attention to detail within each drawing carefully navigates the 
 viewer’s attention from the intricacies of lines in a face to the subtle 
 shift of weight within a stance.\n\nIn a statement about his recent body of 
 work, Phillips elaborates on the nature of his portraiture, “I pursue 
 ways to peel back the protective veils that we display to outside world, 
 striving to capture the un-invented spontaneity of experience. Central to 
 this search is a focus on the significance of narrative in human existence. 
 Our lives are not linear, with one instant leading solely into the next, 
 but rather circular, with each experience formed and defined by others. A 
 portrait functions in the same manner, teasing out emotions and truths that 
 inform not only the particular instant captured, but more importantly the 
 story leading up to it.”\n\nFor "I Am Another Yourself", Phillips has 
 expanded upon the final forms of his drawings, which range greatly in scale 
 from the monumentally larger-than-life to smaller more intimate portraits. 
 Certain works use layered translucent velum paper and double-sided frames 
 that play with the viewer’s span of focus, shifting their perspectives 
 between various details within the same portrait. Each component of the 
 show serves as a window to the narratives of those depicted. \n\n"I Am 
 Another Yourself" opens Saturday, September 6th, with an opening night 
 reception from 6pm-10pm. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, 
 September 27th.\n\nFor more information, additional images, or exclusive
