Phil Grisel 1923 – 2008
Born 1923 in Tiel and moved to Jaarsveld in 1973.
Phil Grisel (1923-2008) was an exceptionally versatile artist.
In Tiel he was friends with Alexander Ernste (1913-1982), a versatile artist and coppersmith.
As a painter he worked in a variety of styles, from figurative to highly abstract.
He didn't really make a name for himself, which wasn't in his nature, and besides, the commercialism in the art world was an abomination to him.
He worked as a planner at the Provincial Water Board in Utrecht and was therefore not dependent on his art to make a living.
For many years he worked at the art market in Utrecht, where he was mainly interested in contact with fellow artists, who often greatly appreciated his work.
