Over the past decade Phillips has staked out a unique position in the white-hot center of the modern pop-culture nexus where film, music, fine art, and fashion constantly intersect at an endless stream of posh parties and openings. As such, his candy-hued, hyperrealistic portraits (shown at Gagosian Gallery in New York and White Cube in London) have insinuated themselves into a M.A.C campaign and the much-lauded, if fictional, Bass art collection on Gossip Girl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s probably the most disturbing show I\u2019ve ever done, and there\u2019s no pornography or political emblems in it,\u201d [says] Phillips, referring to two hallmarks of his previous work. \u201cThe longer you sit with it, the truly diabolical nature, the real horror of it comes up.
