| Philip Trusttum |
Philip Trusttum has an immensely painterly style best described as expressionistic abstraction, as he takes everyday objects and situations and translates them into a visual language that borders on abstraction. In addition to American abstract expressionism and artists such as Pollock and De Kooning, Trusttum’s tutor at Ilam, Rudolf Gopas was a key influence.
Trusttum began painting on un-stretched canvases in the 1970’s and the figurative nature of his works became more cartoon-like as evident in several works in the ‘Just William’ series and a fitting stylistic progression in which to tackle the depiction of his grandson William.
