Currently my practice is split between making a lot of miniature paintings (10 x 10cm, on board), In which small quiet moments are frozen in time amidst the loud world we live in.
As well as working on larger canvases, typically mixing a palette that highlights the temperature of the piece, using wax and other mediums the paint is layered onto the canvas to create rich textures. Using techniques I have personally developed over the past couple years I intend of on carving out my own unique style and mark onto the art world.

With a focus on the interplay between light, texture and the emotive language of architecture, Phoenix hopes to illustrate our relationship with the spaces we inhabit and inflecting what they say about us. Phoenix describes his work as an 'ordered chaos'. Culminating in an exploration of psychogeography through his main influences of Cornish and Moroccan Architecture in which huddled and towering rooftops compete for light and compress into tight spaces. A proximity that modern homes lack. A peaceful claustrophobia, manifesting as a reflection of the artist's immediate environment. Amongst this is the dichotomy between the 'constructed' and 'natural' world demonstrated through form and colour and often using religious iconography. Each painting explores inner and outer landscapes, notions of home and far away places, with a primary focus upon texture through a sculptural layering of paint onto canvas.
