Philip Barlow is a South African artist who paints the most beautiful "unfocused" paintings. "Using everyday scenes, [he] explores illuminated moments within our seemingly ordinary lives." The paintings become more about the light and how it reflects off of objects and people more than the objects and people themselves.
I LOVE these paintings. The city...the busyness of the streets...and the actions of ordinary people in their ordinary lives has never been so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteMe too!!! Unfortunately...I won't be taking a trip to South Africa or California anytime soon : ) The locations that carry his work are listed under the links tab of his webpage, if you are able to make the trip.
DeleteLooks and reads like an Australian artist living in Sydney. What do you think? Check it out:
