Phillip Briant
Phillip Briant’s paintings are grounded in the Australian continent and the Pacific. His works often focus on non-Indigenous settlement of the continent, tourists, migrants or refugees moving across the Australian landscape, the self-imposed boundaries we create to protect place and our relationship to the natural world. Phillip’s intuitive feeling for colour gives his paintings their particular affinity with the Southern Hemisphere. The Sydney-based artist grew up in Melbourne, studied Arts at Monash University before working as a journalist and producer for ABC Radio. He then attended Sydney College of the Arts and has exhibited extensively since 1988.
