Stephen Phillis

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in Scotland in 1947, Stephen studied at Newport Art College, South Wales, before migrating to Australia in 1965. Initially he made his mark as an impressionist-expressionist oil and acrylic painter depicting old towns, buildings and landscapes, and won the City of Cardiff Art Prize in 1970.
His most recent works shows a stylistic change to a figurative/semi-abstract format that allows him the latitude of exploring his skills as a draftsman, informal brushwork and unusual approach to dramatic spatial colouring.
