BIOGRAPHY:
Philip Hazard lived in New York City for over 25 years, being inspired by the energized sides of a big city aesthetic and idealized pop culture. Hazard’s diverse personal life experiences influence the content and subject matter of his multi-layered mixed media work.
Hazard combines and layers oil and acrylic paint, photographic silkscreen, mixed media collage and assemblage on canvas to explore the larger context of the relationship between disparate images and their dialogue. Neon is used as the focus and emphasis within his work.
Philip Hazard describes his work as “mixed media painting combined with collage and assemblage”. Neon tubing is also included in some of his work. Hazard’s mixed media and neon artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
Mr. Hazard’s artwork has been published in several books and magazines, including the books Tools as Art, Contemporary Neon and the Japanese magazine Pronto. His artwork is included in many public and private collections including the National Building Museum in Washington DC and the US Embassy in Katmandu Nepal.
Recent exhibitions include Parkwood Gallery at the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, Flatlanders Art Galleries in Blissfield Michigan, The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in Narrowsburg New York and Zenith Gallery in Washington DC. Mr. Hazard has been represented by Zenith Gallery since 1988.
Philip Hazard also has a background in film and theatre. Two plays written by Mr. Hazard have been produced Off-Off Broadway in New York City. Hazard has written and directed films and videos, which have been screened at a variety of venues including the Arizona International Film Festival and the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
Hazard received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Bowling Green State University in 2007. He has a B.A. from the University of Toledo in Film and Design. He studied screenwriting and film directing at New York University Film School.
After a long career in the neon sign industry in New York City, Mr. Hazard most recently taught studio art classes at Bowling Green State University, University of Toledo and Owens Community College. Currently Hazard concentrates on creating his Neon and Mixed Media artwork.
