Cut back master and king of the graphical line, Phibs, prepares for yet a solo show in Sydney after his latest Melbourne outing, Perfectly Imperfect at Backwoods gallery.

IF for some weird, completely incomprehensible chance you’re not familiar with this artist, then here’s a bio ..

“Phibs is one the most respected and renowned names in Australian Graffiti/Street Art. His public art works are prolific in Melbourne & Sydney and are far-flung across the globe. He has painted so many walls around Fitzroy,  an inner suburb of Melbourne, that it has affectionately become known by locals as ‘Phibsroy’.

Originally from Sydney, Phibs came from a strong graffiti background and was active in community programs, inspiring the artistic potential of this now popular art form. Moving to Melbourne in 2001 saw Phibs exposed to an evolving Melbourne street art scene and the joined the Everfresh Studio collective. In Melbourne Phibs established a name within the fine arts world and rapidly became one of the cities  most respected and renowned artists, on & off the streets.

Phibs signifies the symbiotic, engaging the urban with the organic. He produces works across a vast variety of mediums and consistently reflects his own unique realms of symbolism, multiculturalism and mythology. Largely inspired by nature,  his works have spawned a menagerie of signature characters.

Phibs distinctive style has attracted numerous major brands and publications and several of his works have been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia for its permanent collection.

Now based in Sydney, Phibs continues to exhibit interstate and Internationally in galleries, on walls & at various festivals.”
