Literature
Philip Spencer Trusttum ONZM is a leading New Zealand figurative expressionist artist.
Trusttum's paintings and collage works have been referred to as neo-expressionist and abstract. He experiments with and refines ideas and techniques to suit his own artistic temperament. Trusttum is a prolific and biographical painter, the personal subject matter ranges from his gardens and his grandson's toy trucks to the dynamics of tennis and is grandiose in style and scale. His large works are uninhibited with paint brushed, daubed, or scraped onto the surfaces with expressive energy.
Trusttum has represented New Zealand on many occasions. In 1984, he was invited to participate in ANZART at the Edinburgh Arts Festival. The same year he exhibited on New York's 57th Street at the Jill Kornblee Gallery. He was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, only the second New Zealander to receive the award. Philip Trusttum is represented in all major public and private collections throughout New Zealand.
