About the Work
Philip
Clairmont
was
an
expressionist
painter.
Clairmont
was
influenced
by
the
‘psychedelic'
culture
which
affected
the
way
he
approached
art
and
the
state
of
mind
he
preferred
to
be
in
while
making
his
artwork.
A
trademark
of
his
is
the
infusion
of
chaos
and
energy
into
everyday
objects,
such
as
a
sink.
