Textured in Ochre and Plum – Large 120cm Statement Painting

A bold, highly textured abstract designed to anchor a space with warmth and depth. Rich layers of ochre, plum, and neutral tones create an earthy, grounded palette, while a striking white circular form draws the eye and adds contrast.

At 120cm, this piece functions as a true statement work — ideal for living rooms, entryways, or above a sofa where scale and texture can be fully appreciated. The layered surface catches light throughout the day, giving the painting a subtle sense of movement and presence.

This work pairs especially well with modern, contemporary, and earthy interiors, complementing timber, stone, and neutral-toned spaces.

Built through layered materials and gestural intervention, the piece explores a balance between structure and spontaneity, with influence from artists such as Mark Bradford and Cy Twombly.

Ready to hang.

I’m Phillip Patterson, a Sydney-based painter who creates expressive, large-scale abstracts. My work is grounded in acrylics, resin and mixed media, and I’m passionate about exploring texture—manipulating materials to build surfaces that carry depth both visually and physically . Each piece evolves intuitively, allowing colour, movement and tactile elements to harmonise.
Inspired by coastlines, landscapes and shifting skies, I layer translucent washes and bold marks, then scrape back and build up thick impasto to reveal hidden forms. These textural processes create space and rhythm, inviting viewers to experience the interplay of light, colour and the palpable weight of the paint.

My paintings aim to evoke an emotional resonance and a sense of curiosity. By offering a fusion of colour, texture and depth, I encourage viewers to pause, reflect and connect with the subtleties of nature’s mood and their own memories .
