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.
