Philip Hickingbotham: Patterned Luminescence

Philip Hickingbotham: Patterned Luminescence

From 18 October 2025

Patterned Luminescence is a new oil triptych by local artist Philip Hickingbotham, whose immersive scale and meticulous detail transport viewers into the dense, sun-dappled foliage of the forest. With angular brushstrokes and a realist’s eye, Hickingbotham captures Antipodean bushland so vividly one can almost feel the cool damp air and hear the rush of the waterfall.
