Philip Senior | Like a fish out of water

Artist Statement

Like a fish out of water - Common idioms do contain a truth. In this instance, the idiom is pushed to its conclusion if the fish is out of water for too long. It certainly can apply to us and ultimately does in the end.

Artist Bio

From a young age, Philip has been involved in the visual arts and, while he chose architecture as a career, he continued painting, drawing and exhibiting in Sydney throughout his adult life. His work is a continuing exploration of his understanding of what his world is. The layers of time – geological, cultural, political and personal – that inhabit his existence all play a part in providing impetus to find a visual mark reflecting where he is now.

Exhibitions over the last 6 years include: Studio W, Woolloomooloo Sydney. Red Gallery, Fitzroy North Melbourne. Gallery Lane Cove, Sydney. New England Regional Art Museum, Armidale.  ‘Everything Flows’ - Tapir Gallery, Berlin. ‘Anomyne Zeichner (Anonymous Drawings)’ International Exhibition Galerie im Kornerpark, Berlin.
