Phillip McLeish : Recent Paintings - Galerie Düsseldorf - 25 February - 25 March 2007

Born in 1950, Phillip McLeish has lived and painted in and around the Northcliffe region in the deep South West Karri forests of Western Australia since 1975.
Painting has been a constant pursuit through all this time. He has spent many of those years at work in the South West forests witnessing on a consistent basis the distinct local phenomena.
Such isolation has enabled him to absorb the consequentiality of his subject matter. His paintings have a deep sense of place and reveal knowledge gained experiencing the intricate balance and play between light, form, growth and seasonal shifts.
Having recently temporarily moved his studio north to a beach side location in Bunbury, McLeish has experienced a dramatic shift in coastal structure, intensity of light and weather patterns.
This exhibition where paintings from the Southern Ocean meet paintings from the Indian Ocean follows on from a very successful exhibition at Galerie Düsseldorf in 2005
