Phillip George
Phillip George is an Australian artist whose photographic, sculptural, video, installation based works have been shown internationally. His projects are created in relation to the collisions of East and West within cultural &/or historically resonant sites.
George’s photographic and video installations are distinctive through their seamless integration of diverse historical continuum. His vivid condensation of artistically and scientific analogies contributes to the resolution of particularly difficult millennial double bind occupying theorists and artist nationally and internationally.
George’s practice focusses on concepts of contrivance and the handmade, through which we can retrace the artists specific trajectory throughout the discourse on art, photography and politics – that ranges from the conceptual debates in art to the technological shifts from analogue to the digital. Georges’ practice and extensive travels gives form to his contrapuntal perceptions within contemporary art.
Phillip George has held 32 solo exhibitions and over 100 group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Exhibitions include the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art Greece, Art Tower Agora Athens, and Stills Gallery Sydney, Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney, National Gallery of Thailand, Bangkok, Singapore Art Museum, Singapore and National Gallery of Australia. His work draws connections between Australian beach culture and the fractured, turbulent zones of the Middle East.. His drawing in Water series is a departure from stationary one-eyed perception; here the combination of many pictures in the brain are orchestrated into different and fluid relational spatialities. It’s not a classical gaze inherited from Renaissance straight lines. The sea is a mirror that reflects and repeats our broken images. Its fluctuating surfaces can be feathered or quartzy, crimped and moiréed.
