Arts Week focus- Phillip Clairmont

Every year the year 7&8's have an arts week where we explore a specific artists work and delve into the complexities of their lives. This year we are focusing on New Zealand Painter Phillip Clairmont. In particular we are exploring his lively painting " scarred couch", using the techniques he used to create an artwork of our own.


Clairmont remains one of NZ's most remarkable and energetic artists. His expressionist-style of painting turned ordinary household items and interiors into objects writhing and bursting with energy fragmented almost to abstraction. Clairmont has his own very distinctive style of painting.
