Phil Stallard describes himself as an ‘emotional abstractionist’. You will see energy, excitement, space, power and an involvement with the paint surface, a sensuality of his paint application contrasted with spontaneity!.

A richness of the medium, experimentation combined with his zany personality is infectious as is his enthusiasm for his art.

Fascinated with the marks that humans make in a landscape, his paintings now are visual diaries populated with his own personal iconography – ‘I use devices such as circles, hearts and numbers to give abstract work humanness’.
Childhood memories around Sydney Harbour and the Hawkesbury are recurring memories being a strong source for inspiration.

Phil Stallard has a solid 20 + year track record, with successful solo exhibitions yearly in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
