On the eve of his Collaborations album release, Ed Sheeran sits in his studio on a break from recording somewhat tired and withdrawn. Still uneasy with being in the spotlight let alone sitting for portraits, Ed is presented by the artist as shy and brooding. This portrait lays bare the stark contrast to the Ed we see today. With long days and nights in the recording studio we share in this personal moment between the artist and subject. Phillip beautifully captures the coming-of-age singer before his meteoric rise. Ed bares a reassuring and engaging glance in this brief moment of time. The vibrant colour in this portrait is a very deliberate contrast to the somber mood which has been blended beautifully by Phillip Butah.
His ultra realistic portraits present the viewer with not only an honest study of the subject but also a deeper connection with them. Phillip tends to punch right through the barriers and show what lies beneath.
Phillip Butah is the youngest ever artist to win the Prince of Wales Young Artists' Award, and studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. He lives in London, UK.
Butah, whose portrait of Ed graced the cover of the singer's + album, provided the artwork for this project -- nearly 50 images drawn with pencil, pastels, charcoal and graphite.
