Michael Philp "Shooting Stars"

Michael Philp is a contemporary aboriginal artist from the Tweed Caldera. He grew up on the Tweed Coast, his mum an aboriginal woman and his father a white fisherman. Much of Michael’s youth was spent at the seaside or on the river. It was a place to connect with his dad, to spend time with friends and sometimes to reflect in solitude. This coastal landscape of his childhood features regularly in his current works. With his signature minimalist style, Michael tells the story of his people from a modern-day perspective.
