Paintings

Painting is where Phil Hayes's most iconic imagery lives. The dog, the thylacine, the Australian landscape rendered in bold colour and modernist pop energy that is immediately, unmistakably his. From lone dogs in open fields to roaring thylacines in dark landscapes, each painting carries the layered symbolism and social commentary that has defined Phil's voice as an artist for over four decades.

Based in Melbourne and exhibited in galleries across Australia and internationally, Phil brings together influences from Australian suburbia, Tasmanian wilderness, and the wider currents of Western and Asian popular culture, all meeting on canvas.
