Biography
Mark D. Phillips was born in Natal South Africa in 1944 and is a mainly self-taught fine art oil painter and triple winner of the prestigious Australian Society of Artists Annual Exhibition. Based in Durban, South Africa, Mark’s artworks in oils and acrylics are housed in leading Private Art Collections worldwide. Mark was raised on a farm in the Cape, started painting at the age of ten and initially studied printing and typography. He then worked in London and New York ending up in Perth, WA studying at the Gillian Aitken School of Art. Many of his paintings have an impressionistic romantic style. His pastel hues and palette-knife techniques are reminiscent of the 19th century artist Georges Serat who painted with dabs of his brush rather than brush strokes. He has a strong following, especially in Australia, where his popularity reached a peak during his stay in the eighties. He has exhibited in the UK, America, Australia and his home country of South Africa. Mark runs small art classes from his studio in Kloof, South Africa.
