His artwork has been exhibited at the California Museum of Art, the Museum of New Mexico, the Venice ArtWalk, the Mus e de la Revolution Fran ais, the LACE Annual and at his own Flux Gallery, which he operates with his wife, JoAnne Severns Northrup, a Curator at the De Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University. From 1983-1989 he ran his own post card company, Work Ethic Productions , which distributed postcards of his own design nationwide. In addition to his exhibitions, Philo produces multimedia projects. For Philo, ArtCars and ArtCar Fest are part of a broader goal to expose contemporary art by self taught artists - folk art to the folk. Cowboys, home boys, teenagers, grandparents and all kids respond with almost reckless enthusiasm, waving like crazy, leaning halfway out of their cars, crying, laughing . . .
Pure communication happens between our raw creativity and their unprepared psyche.
We hit a nerve and it's a good thing.
