Where I was a Flower of the Mountain 1. by Philip Maltman

This piece forms part of the A Flower of the Mountain series, titled after a line from James Joyce’s Ulysses. True to Maltman’s approach, the flowers here are neither realistic nor directly representational. They rise from mounds or mountainsides like imagined forms, rooted in place yet free of natural reference. This work stands out for depicting a group of flowers—an unusual occurrence in the series. Philip Maltman has long found inspiration in Joyce’s writing, not as a source to illustrate, but as material for visual improvisation.

Philip Maltman
Philip Maltman is a Scottish-born artist who now lives and works from London. He works primarily with oil paintings, exploring the ‘littoral zone’, or the shoreline where land meets water. Philip examines the form and lines of this often chaotic region, and in doing so creates a new kind of landscape painting that focuses on transitions and the constant flux of everyday life. These are not typical nature paintings in that they convey a sense of chaos and unrest, using erratic brushstrokes, paint drips and text to achieve this unsettling yet exciting effect.
Stephen Beddoe

The insider Stephen Beddoe says:

Philip Maltman's paintings are incredibly accomplished, both technically and through their subject matter and composition. The artist appears to be influenced by the history of British culture. In particular, English pastoral painting of the Romantic period through to myth and modernism. The gestural strokes, use of iconography and text also tip a wink to the master, Cy Twombly.

The website is very well made and easy to navigate. After choosing the art I wanted, I went ahead to buy it expecting to receive the usual emails on "your order is accepted", "your order is being processed" etc, but not the case at all! Mérédith updated me on everything - when my art is being packaged and where it is shipping from, when they have sent it out, and even tracked the shipping for me and asked if everything was fine after I have received the artwork. The dedication and meticulousness of the Rise Art team is truly impressive. I will definitely buy art from Rise Art again.

My experience with Rise Art has been wonderful. I was kindly informed about the status of my purchase and delivery. And the two works of art by Julia Shanaytsa's work is wonderfully inspiring and speaks to me deeply. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to taking the artwork to the framer and hanging it up in my home soon.

I was initially a little skeptical about buying art from the other side of the world and having it shipped internationally but honestly, this has been one of the smoothest, easiest purchases I’ve ever made. From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. I was kept informed throughout the entire process and was even reminded ahead of time about the customs fee. The artwork was so carefully packaged and arrived completely unscathed. I’m absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and would definitely purchase through Rise Art again.

Buying my first piece of art online felt like a big deal, and Rise Art made it an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their collection is massive—every style, every format, something for literally every kind of space and vibe. Meredith from the Rise Art team was in touch the whole way through, from when I hit “purchase” to when the piece landed on my doorstep. It felt thoughtful and personal, which isn’t what you expect with online shopping. Safe to say this won’t be my last piece from them.
