PHILIPPA STEWART-HALL – an interesting life… B. Ed - Art U.N.S.W. Visual Art Graduate Diploma Prof. Art Studies – U.N.S.W. Visual Art S.A. Fine Arts – Hornsby TAFE Dip Comp. Writ. – The Writing School Dip. Fine Arts – Hornsby TAFE Certificate - Radio On-Air Presenter – HHH 100.1 FM Certificate – Basic Photography – Colin Beard A former member of the Chelsea Arts Club, London, Fourth President of the Australian Society of Miniature Art (A.S.M.A.), and vice President of Hornsby Art Society, Ms. Stewart-Hall has exhibited consistently in major group exhibitions, including “Six New Faces” at the Solander Galleries Canberra, the Del Bello Gallery - Canada, Museum of Contemporary Art - Washington D.C. USA, Haute Loire International Art Exhibition – France, Gallerie Austral – Noumea, Nagano – Japan, Germany, South Korea, & Queensland, just to mention a few. Furthermore she has held twelve solo exhibitions, three of which have been at the Holdsworth Galleries in Paddington, Sydney. Philippa’s works hang in private collections both here and overseas. She has many commissions to her credit. Ms. Stewart-Hall’s foray into the art world began when she had an accident in 1975, which caused her to rethink her life. While recuperating in hospital she began to draw. Doctors and friends encouraged her to continue and eventually her work came to the notice of the artist Ross Morrow, who became her mentor and friend for several years before his death. The springboard for Philippa’s enthusiastic approach to her new world was through the abstract forms of music and the philosophies of songwriters, composers and historians. Technically Philippa’s ability to paint & draw academically, is without a doubt, however she decided to concentrate strongly on experimentation and gradually moved from drawing to painting and on to mixed media. This exploration culminated in her first solo at the Holdsworth Galleries namely “Crossroads”. Philippa came in contact with contemporary composer, Anthony Hughes and decided to work with one of his works, which suited her explorations at the time…that of the findings of Stephen Hawking…this next exhibition was called “Realisation” after the name of the piece of music… Another leap in style came about when the artist began exploring dreams… an ancient philosophy based on the interpretation of dreams as messages. These interpretations have altered the destinies of people and nations throughout history. In 1993 she presented an exhibition called “Glimpses” at the Holdsworth Galleries. Philippa is currently working on a multitude of ideas that incorporate the explorations by quantum physicists & scientific theories concerning the cosmos. Her miniature portraits – particularly of animals, & conceptual works using a variety of different media give an added dimension to her work and they are referred to as preludes, because quite often they are used for larger works. Philippa’s thirst for knowledge has also led her into another arena – that of Botanical flower portraits According to Philippa, this is an area of art, which she finds wonderfully meditative – that of being one with the plant. This exploration has enabled Philippa to exhibit with the Botanical Art Society of Australia. Essentially a metaphysical surrealist, Ms Stewart-Hall has travelled from pencil and paint to mirrors, laser paper, glass, Perspex, and ceramics. From fifteen foot paintings to miniatures, her works are not superficial, and she always challenges the viewer to explore her works… she hopes you will join her in her philosophical journeys. ~ |
