Philip Drummond - Artist - Paintings
New South Wales Artist Philip Drummond is a contemporary still life painter who’s interest in art has been with him his whole life. Whilst juggling paying jobs in the 80’s Philip spent his spare time painting, drawing and creating with passion. A self taught artist, Philip Drummond started exhibiting in the early 1990’s after a journey of self learning and discovery in his artistic field. His realist still life paintings infuse a quiet, reflective quality with simple compositions and subject matter, creating naturalism in his paintings that he is well recognised for.
Artist Statement
- Born Melbourne 1960
- Lives and works in the Hunter Valley NSW Australia
- Self taught painter
"My work is more than just art imitating nature, I have tried to infuse a quiet, reflective quality into my paintings with simple compositions and humble subject matter. The challenge being to create naturalism without the work becoming too laboured. I work directly from the model, seeing and painting being an intrinsic part of the process. Capturing my subject within the intimacy of the studio before it wilts and dies, reinforcing the permanency of art over the mortal world. In an uncertain world obsessed with technological advancement there is something reassuring about following traditions and exploring the simplicity of natural forms." Philip Drummond
