Tigers

The thylacine, Tasmania's lost marsupial, Australia's most haunting ghost, sits at the heart of Phil Hayes's most personal work. Across paintings, prints, and sculptures, Melbourne artist Phil Hayes returns again and again to the Tasmanian tiger not simply as an extinct animal, but as a powerful symbol of loss, myth, and the fragile relationship between nature and culture in the Australian psyche.

Each work, whether on canvas, paper, or rendered in three dimensions, captures the thylacine with quiet intensity. A personal totem. A cautionary tale. A ghost story told across media.
