Philip Madill

Philip Madill graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Dunedin School of Art in 2009 and is represented by Olga Gallery in Dunedin. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Otago (2005). In 2014 he completed a Master of Fine Arts with Distinction, in which he worked primarily in drawing.

Madill’s work examines the historic proliferation of virtual technology and its impact on the role of drawing as a form of mediation. He creates immersive dystopian landscapes that are littered with defunct machinery to emphasis the dehumanising and hybrid nature of the virtual world. He is currently working towards a Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Design at the Auckland University of Technology.
