Phil Irish: Artist Studio Tour

Phil Irish, from Elora, Ontario, Canada, makes paintings that are both fierce and beautiful. His practice extends painting into realms of collage, installation, photography and video. His work has been shown at public museums, artist-run-centres, and commercial galleries across Canada. The Kolaj Institute, in New Orleans, featured his architecturally scaled installation “The Green Fuse”. In 2020, he competed in CBC’s Landscape Artist of the Year Canada. His work was featured at the Quebec City Biennial, and three times shortlisted for the Kingston Portrait Prize. Travel and artist residencies have played an important role in developing his themes. He has developed new work during residencies at the Symposium in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, The Banff Centre, and the Vermont Studio Center. In 2017 he began his arctic themes: he visited Baffin Island as part of CanadaC3, and in 2023 he explored Svalbard as part of The Arctic Circle residency. This summer, he will spend 2 weeks in Spain as a recipient of the Tablas de Daimiel Artistic Residency Award. He holds degrees from York (MFA) and Guelph (BA) and leads the art program at Redeemer University in Ancaster, Ontario. _____________________________________________________________________________________ I Like Your Work is dedicated to supporting artists, creating community and providing opportunities and resources.
