Artist Biography

Commander Rex Phillips (1931-2015) was born in Cambridgeshire. Educated at the Nautical College, Pangbourne, he entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1949 and subsequently served for thirty-four years with much of that time in Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, and Aircraft Carriers. He subsequently became a full-time artist in both oil and watercolour. Though he was without formal art training, his many years' experience at sea as a Navigating Officer, sailing over most of the seas and oceans of the world, provided Phillips with a wealth of material and professional background from which to draw. He exhibited over many years at the Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition in London and was a member of the Armed Forces Art Society. His works can be found in collections in America, France, Norway, Australia, and Holland as well as in the UK, including those at the RN Museum, naval establishments, the RNLI and other institutions. His primary subjects were marine, both contemporary and historical, also including landscapes.
