PHIBS

Phibs is the one of the most respected and renowned names in Australian graffiti and street art. Responsible for the tutelage of many of Australia's leading street artists including the Everfresh crew and fellow exhibitor Beastman, Phibs' crisp, iconic freehand delineations are so clean and precise that they are often mistaken for stencils, the product of decades of practice in the mastery of aerosol.

His public artworks are prolific in Melbourne and Sydney, and are far-flung across the globe. Several of his works have been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia for its permanent collection. He has painted so many walls around Fitzroy, an inner suburb of Melbourne, that the suburb has affectionately become known as ‘Phibsroy’ by the locals.
