Taproom Exhibition: Yoshiko Phillips x Intoart
From Thursday 11th April we welcome back Intoart and Yoshiko Phillips for another mural exhibition on our Taproom wall. Yoshiko first exhibited her work on our Taproom wall back in April 2018 and we are so excited her bright and fantasical characters have found a home with us for the next few months.
Yoshiko Phillips
Yoshiko Phillips creates artworks that are full of merry characters, dazzling colour combinations and bold, calligraphic linework. Her practice has been inspired by a range of sources including traditional Japanese embroidery, Baroque architecture and the natural world.
Yoshiko has recently applied her unmistakable style to a number of design projects including a collaboration with prestigious knitwear designers John Smedley; a large-scale installation for the walls of Charing Cross Hospital, as well as creating a number of bespoke Intoart products and prints.
Her current body of work has been based around the study Japanese spirits, apparitions and monsters known as Yokai. Yoshiko has created dozens of characters for this project each one brimming with a mixture of charm and mischievousness. The mural at the Brick Brewery Taproom brings four of her favourite Yokai together in a stunning large scale composition. Yoshiko has been a member of the Intoart collective since 2015.
