His work is physical, dense in its application, sombre in mood and tonality, the result of a deeply experienced, enduring engagement with an ancient, yet eternally living subject.
Born 1963, Launceston, Tasmania
Phillip Wolfhagen is, quintessentially, a painter of the Australian landscape, one whose work has, since its beginnings, been exclusively absorbed into his private obsession with northern Tasmania, the terrain of his personal origins.
His work is physical, dense in its application, sombre in mood and tonality, the result of a deeply experienced, enduring engagement with an ancient, yet eternally living subject.
While Phillip Wolfhagen's work only came to the attention of Australian critics and collectors in the early 1990s, he is already regarded as one of Australia's most outstanding landscape painters. His work has been presented in numerous (important) exhibitions.
