Kenmore Show Rewards Art in the West -
an article in The Local Bulletin, Brisbane City West, April 2003
The acquisition art prize in the 2003 MetroWest Urban Landscape Art Competition has been won by Paddington artist, Phil Bazzo.
Phil was a winner of the Town and City Scene section of the 2000 Sunday Mail Art Competition. The Kenmore Art Show attracted 340 artworks from 88 recognised artists and has created a unique opportunity to reward artists in the Western Suburbs, particularly those who record our urban landscapes.
Phil Bazzo's work, entitled "Harrys Road, Taringa" depicts the changes from traditional Queensland domestic architecture to modern apartment developments.
Working in acrylic paint, the winning entry uses fine balsa structures to provide architectural detail and develops colour and texture by using a dot technique.
The Competition was judged by Prof Robyn Stewart from USQ and Zoe Butt from the Queensland Art Gallery. In announcing the decision, Prof Stewart referred to the way in which the painting referenced Geoffrey Smart's work and the dot tradition in Aboriginal art, whilst maintaining an unique personal vision.
Phil has been painting old houses and cottages around the inner Brisbane area particularly in Paddington and New Farm but has recently been more interested in the changing streetscape as apartment developments have taken over the visual landscape.
The MetroWest Landscape Art Award winner can be seen at the ERM Group Office at
MetroWest Urban Market, 620 Moggill Road.

On the town - an article in The Sunday Mail, May 2002
Ken Lord was captivated by the wooden art.
Big surprises can sometimes come in modest packets. Last week's eye-popper was the opening of an art show in the private bar of the Stones Corner Hotel. You got it! So why did this joint go arty?
Why not? It copped a tart up a few years ago and, with the city's emergence in big-time boulevard noshing, this once ordinary watering hole has become the focal point of a neat caffeine, wine and bistro buzz that has taken over the street.
The show was presented by Skye Leong Art Promotions and featured the works of Phil Bazzo, a prizewinner in The Sunday Mail Art Show 2000.
Phil's a laid-back local dude who crafts city and suburban landscapes from intricately cut strips of wood fixed to detailed acrylic backgrounds. His aesthetic precision is amazing, and it's a cinch to fascinate Stones Corner pub patrons for the next month.
