For Phelan, words like colour, reflection, transparency, saturation, dispersion, and dissolution have always been intertwined with a fascination for water, particularly the sea. From childhood and into adulthood, as an avid surfer, he has been captivated by the sea’s fluid, mercurial nature—how it bends, ripples, and reflects light.
Arriving captures this ongoing exploration, and embodies the artist’s continual evolution and desire to capture the interplay of light and colour. And offers viewers a chance to pause, reflect, and engage with a slower, more thoughtful perspective.
