Phillip James Frost
The work of elusive Dunedin artist Phillip James Frost is noted as being tactile and messy, yet retaining a sense of delicacy. His practice involves dispersing and recycling fragments of life and imagined worlds, as well as reincorporating motifs featured in previous works. This causes the eye to continually oscillate across the canvas in awe or perhaps bewilderment. Frost’s current exhibition, Works on paper, highlights his ability to build energetic and chaotically charged works, making him one of Dunedin’s most talented artists.
