Ship Building - Garden Island Haiku

Great condition, secondary art by Sydney Artist Phil Stallard PS Ship Building (Garden Island Haiku) by Phil Stallard Secondhand Mixed Medium on Canvas, 180cm x 180cm Experience the vibrant memory of Sydney's iconic working harbour with Ship Building (Garden Island Haiku), a significant mixed-medium artwork by renowned Australian artist, Phil Stallard. Stallard, an established master of abstraction, is celebrated for transforming his profound connection to Sydney’s waterways and landscapes into evocative, colourful, and highly personal paintings. This striking 150cm square piece captures the essence of Garden Island, a central fixture of the city's maritime life, through his distinctive style. Stallard describes his "Haiku" series as recollections of the present distilled by the past—a feeling of luminosity and fondness for the city's surroundings. Emotional Abstraction: The composition is a powerful interplay between bold, flat areas of colour (the deep turquoise of the water, the rich industrial red of the ship hull) and spontaneous, energetic mark-making. Architectural Drawing: Fine, deliberate pencil and charcoal lines trace the structural bones of the dockyard and ship, contrasting sharply with the abstract colour fields. This tension between drawing and painting, geometry and fluidity, is a hallmark of Stallard's work.
