‘Fences’ by Phillip Briant
15th – 27th July, 2014
Opening Night:
Saturday 19th of July, 2.00 – 5.00pm
As a fundamental part of many people’s lives, fences can represent land ownership, borders, inclusion and exclusion. On this continent fences separate neighbours or mark out sports grounds. Serious fences can keep criminals in while keeping dingoes and others, out. Simple but effective, if you see life in this way.
Fences continues Phillip Briant’s long term interest 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.
