Candyland

About

Surf Dudes. Muscle men. Hit men. Rogue Preachers. These are some of the colourful citizens of CandyLand, a bloated sunshine state located somewhere between the desert, the sea, and the inside of Phil’s imagination. 

Each painting tells a different story. Like stills from a film.  All rendered in Phil’s signature style. Part abstract. Part figurative. Often a blend of both. All laid out in glorious acrylic technicolour. The works are almost always on canvas, sometimes on board. He works with many different layers of paint, glue, oil and resin to build texture that gives the work a delicious physicality when seen in the flesh.
