Phil Hayes
Since the early 1980’s, this Australian artist has made a lasting impact on the national and international art scene.
His creations draw inspiration from the vibrant tapestry of popular and commercial culture found in both Western and Asian societies. Having lived in Hong Kong for 13 years, he has developed a unique blend of modernist pop.

Today the Dog has become a hallmark of Phil’s artistry, instantly recognisable and imbued with his signature style.
