Through his work, he examines the self, the other, and the constructed realities we navigate. With a Bachelor of Arts 1991 (Anthropology, Art History minor) from the University of Otago, his background reflects in the way he views and responds to the world around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infused with the rebellious energy of Christchurch\u2019s street art, his work is loud and intentional. Blending traditional techniques with, words and motifs, Brett\u2019s work exists in the post-modern, conceptual space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brettphillips.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/inform_BrettPhillips_exhibition_1200x800-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brettphillips.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/inform_BrettPhillips_exhibition_1200x800-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brettphillips.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/inform_BrettPhillips_exhibition_1200x800-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brettphillips.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/inform_BrettPhillips_exhibition_1200x800-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brettphillips.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/inform_BrettPhillips_exhibition_1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:57px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>28th January &#8211; 15th February 2026<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>[in]form is Brett Phillips\u2019 third exhibition, continuing his ongoing investigation into how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
