Livingston bends and shapes space skillfully ... challenging expectactions about weight and weightlessness, form and mass, and mass and space. —Sculpture Magazine, 2005 (more press...)

Philip Livingston is a sculptor/designer with ties to theatre and architecture. His work explores themes of memory, the tension between reality and illusion, the relationship of physical to spiritual, gravity and lightness, and other perplexing contrasts. But never all at once! Different themes emerge in different materials in pieces created in series that have taken periods of one to five or so years.

This website shows a sampling of work created for various one person gallery exhibitions; for research in the studio; and for particular sites and clients.

Livingston has a B.A. from Brown University and an M.F.A. from the university of Wisconsin. He is a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome. His sculpture is in the collections of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Knoxville Museum of Art; the Knoxville Convention Center; the Tennessee Valley Authority (on three sites); Oakton Community College, Des Plaines, IL; and many private collections. He has been represented by Adele Rosenberg Gallery, Chicago; Ward-Nasse Gallery, New York; Sonia Zaks Gallery, Chicago; James Tigerman Gallery, and Perimeter Gallery, Chicago.

Philip Livingston's studio is in Chicago. Visits are welcome and can be arranged by calling the artist at 773 220-8038. Some works presented on this site are for sale, and the artist is open to proposals for commissions.
