Phil Bird MA
‘Oracles and Mirrors’
A mythic magical light shines vividly in the painterly canvases of Phil Bird’s latest series of Paintings
Drenched in a jewel like mysterious interior glow, these are paintings that have their origin “ deep within the labyrinthine caves of the human psyche” to quote Anna Georghiou .
Birds paintings invite the viewer to weave creative narratives from the exotic tableaus that he presents.
These are travellers’ tales brought back from the subterranean realms of Orpheus. They celebrate the power of our intuitive imagination, revealing worlds evoked from beyond the merely mundane and rational scenarios of our everyday lives. They are food for the soul.
These dramatic visual stories are full of light and dark themes. Phil hopes
You will unfold them in ways meaningful to yourselves. There are no right or wrong readings they are like oracles, and also like mirrors in which we can both loose and rediscover ourselves anew.
