The Trail of Tears, Bosnia, 2006

details about this work


Phil Whiting is based in Helston, South West


"A history painter on the moral high ground who retrieves a redemptive beauty from the jaws of disaster and human folly."

Peter Davies

"Whiting paints the land and the sea to evoke half forgotten memories or places of trauma, ensuring that his works are without exception striking, full of passion and often dark."

Hugo Swire
