Tom Phillips CBE
Take Art for the Heart
Silkscreen Print
Image Size: 398 X 530 mm
Paper Size: 585 X 750 mm
Tom Phillips’ simple and
elegant design shows six stages of a heart as it
gradually becomes whole.
He plays with the arrangement of the phrase ‘Take Art for the
Heart’, placing it inside the heart shapes and reducing and
simplifying it until there is nothing left. A statement to the
transformative power of art on the human soul.
