Darebin Art CollectionFrom Interiors to Exteriors
11 July 2012 - 29 July 2012
In this keenly observed series of paintings, Phil Harris affectionately surveys the subjects of domestic bliss, domestic harmony and the suburban backyard. The backyard, unlike the front yard, is often a private world; a secret place behind our fences that strangers aren’t privy to unless invited. Interiors, featuring figures, explores the human condition; identity, gender, sexuality, love and rejection, loneliness and states of mind.
The City of Darebin is proud to present a spotlight on Phil Harris, winner of the 2006 Darebin Art Prize.
