The work of Peter Phillips goes a long way to prove that Pop Art remains as relevant today as it was in the crazy and perpetually fascinating decade in which it was born. His early works continue to exude a provocative power and freshness to our 21^st Century eyes yet his contemporary pieces deliver the same undiminished punch with Phillips continuing to offer back to us fragments of our cultural landscape in an unrelenting and unsettling expose.

As an artist Phillips has remained fully committed to the central tenets of his original line of enquiry, a rare integrity, and has simply evolved along a continuum. Thus allowing his entire body of work to sit together in a most complimentary way, a seamless narrative spoken over more than five decades.

Refusing to run out of steam or simply rest on his well deserved laurels Phillips continues to pose the same questions we see in his late mid century pieces. The boldness and vigour remain unabated and undiluted by recognition, his wit and eye unsullied by the journey. He kicks us in the senses with the same gusto as the artist as a younger man, the exact same foot in a modern boot.
