About the Artist

Formally trained at the Art Centre College of Design in Los Angeles, 

Phil Suter later migrated to Australia where he now resides. 

After working for years as a designer, involved in both international and national projects, Phil now devotes 
his time to Fine Art, as a Contemporary Realist, 

which he considers being his most natural form of expression, 
exhibiting his work 

to a wider audience, allowing his sharp observation, love of detail 

and subtle surrealism to permeate all of his visuals.

He has produced commissioned portraits and artworks, which not only include 

Australian personalities 
but also commemorative streetscapes, maritime art, 

and depictions of local iconic places, buildings and ships.

Phil enjoys working in different artistic techniques and media which relate 

to what the artwork he is producing 
is communicating.

Many of his works reflect commemoration, that speaks to a specific community, recounting the story 
of a particular place, time, character and event.

Artist Statement:
Within each artistic expression I aim to capture a sense of place, memory and spirit.
