About me / About me
For me, photography is both a passion and a haven of peace
Philip Ian Pearce
British-born photographer Philip Ian Pearce has been working in photography since the 1980's. The industrial engineer spent decades in various leadership roles within the industrial plant construction sector, an experience that has profoundly shaped his photographic work. He has gained his photographic expertise through formal training in Cologne and on-the-job experience.
Influenced by Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, his artistic work explores societal structural change through a unique style he terms "analytical expressionism." His emotive interpretation of industry, technology, and labor invites the viewer to look beyond the obvious and discover new emotional meanings within his forward-looking art.
In the winter semester of 2021, Philip Ian Pearce accepted a teaching position at the Chair of Digital Arts and Cultural Mediation at the private Witten/Herdecke University.
