King For a Day

Artist's Statement: A years worth of working up a texture, like the hulls of ships, the water and mangroves around Canada bay, out of it a ‘king’ motif appears, it’s like a self portrait, like Nolan’s Kelly but is me.

In this series, I’m coming up from a deep dive into a memory way too fast, emotions are mixed with the deliciousness of colour, the memory becomes obscured and saturated with colour—the result is a painting that sings its own tune. There are places I return to time and time again in my painting, sometimes it’s the same place that I return to repeatedly, there’s a place in the water off Pyrmont, there’s the Garden Island dry dock in the 80’s and place that is merely a sidelong glance off the burns bay bridge, the water is so seductive.

As an artist, I must keep moving, there are old formulas that I’ve departed from, I’m heading into new territory – its exciting! - Phil Stallard, 2017.

CHG Director's Statement: Expressive, bursts of energy, strength of colour, and wall power are just some of the adjectives or phrases to describe Phil Stallard’s paintings. His style will refresh any interior with exciting incendiary like bursts of colour and tone! - Mark Widdup.

"There is a "total experience" in a Phil Stallard painting, a similar notion that no part of the painting is bland, or subordinate, or to be passed over. Stallard's work is very painterly indeed. His oil-paint is applied with a fluid lushness, a sensuousness, that recalls 1960’s Brett Whiteley." - Peter Pinson, OAM.
