Philip Gray’s relentless passion for art is matched only by his spirit of adventure and discovery. Renowned as an extreme artist, Philip eschews the confines of a studio in favour of dynamic, on-location painting that captures the raw beauty of nature.
His daring expeditions—from Everest Base Camp and the depths of shark-infested waters to the lush rainforests of Borneo, mysterious caves, and the volcanic peaks of Iceland—have cemented his reputation as both an intrepid explorer and a visionary artist. No matter where his journeys take him, the rugged South West coast of Ireland remains his true muse. His serene depictions of its shores and harbours offer a welcome escape from everyday chaos, inviting viewers to appreciate the natural world through the eyes of a master.
Philip reflects, “My love of the sea stems from the joy and freedom I experienced as an Irish navy diver. The ocean speaks to me with a thousand words and visions, inspiring me to venture into uncharted territories and capture scenes where few have dared to tread.” Discover the world of Philip Gray at Startle, a unique blend of adventure, innovation, and breathtaking art that challenges the boundaries of conventional painting.
