Biography

Philip McCumskey is a South African abstract artist, now based in West Sussex, UK.

A master of texture, he builds layers to his artworks using a range of tools, often scraping, adding and removing paint, making marks, and incorporating collage to create abstract works of unique and captivating character. Philip's work has been exhibited at Fronteer Gallery in Sheffield, The Badger in the Wall gallery in Yorkshire, and Fox Yard Studio in Suffolk. He also runs The Amazing Abstracts Competition listed on the Curatorspace website that helps support other talented artists across the UK.
