Philip Wolfhagen presents a new exhibition of paintings that continue his long-standing exploration of the atmospheric landscapes of northern Tasmania.
Widely regarded as one of Australia’s leading contemporary landscape painters, Wolfhagen is known for his distinctive use of beeswax mixed with oil paint, creating richly textured surfaces that capture the shifting qualities of light, weather and memory. His works are deeply connected to place, reflecting an enduring engagement with the Tasmanian landscape and its emotional resonance.
Over a career spanning more than three decades, Wolfhagen has exhibited extensively throughout Australia and internationally. His work is held in major public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Victoria and the Art Gallery of South Australia. In 2007 he was awarded the Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
