I recently went to see the extensive exhibition Illumination: The Art of Philip Wolfhagen at the Cairns Regional Gallery. Wow. If you get the opportunity to see this exhibition, seize it. It is at Cairns until July 6th.
Wolfhagen’s landscape paintings have been influential on my own due to their open spaces, painterly marks, reflection of time and atmosphere. On screen images do not do these large scale pieces justice.
If you can’t get to the exhibition or want further insight into his practice, watch the video linked below…
