Philip Sager is a visual artist who grew up in the heart of New York City, filled with experiences that only an international city can offer. He now lives across the county in another geographically-small but equally urban center: San Francisco. While his artistic work focuses on confronting the complexity of perception and how our brains simplify, absorb, and comprehend information, Sager is directly influenced by his subliminal mind, memory, and metaphors mirroring the fragmented and conflictual nature of emotive experience. It comes naturally for Sager to combine art and science, given his long academic and professional history of scientific pursuits researching the heart and the mind. Sager studied photography at Yale University, MIT, and the Apeiron Workshops. His work is held in private collections and has been on view in multiple galleries. In 2025 he was a Critical Mass Photolucida Top 200 finalist. In the Spring, 2022 the Griffin Museum of Photography hosted a solo exhibition of Sager’s work, organized by curator Paula Tognarelli.
