I have been wanting to include the colour green in my work so here is a possibility. I love green but it is not always received well unless it's in a garden or rural setting. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #green #contemporaryartist #digtalartist #abstractexpressionism #minimalcontemporary
Simplicity at it's most simple. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contempoaryabstraction #colouraesthetic #colourindesign #design #geometricabstraction
With a few tweeks here & there I came up with this idea. Focusing again on red & orange with a smidgen of black & pink. I'm enjoying this series. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #geometricabstraction #minimalcontemporary #contemporaryartist #digtalartist #abstractartist #boldandabstract #modernabstract
Again using the cut & paste digital technique which I use a lot. It's amazing how it can elevate a work through tweeks here & there. Sketch at this stage. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #digtalartist #contemporaryartist #minimalcontemporary #decorationinterieur #interiorstyling #abstractart #sketchbook
Experimenting here with some new approaches as to how I create my artworks. My work is very design orientated, its written in my DNA having worked in the contemporary design field for a few years prior to my current practice. As an artist it can get repetitive so I feel it is important to mix it up a bit. I have always loved the idea of collage be it ripping up bits & pieces or simply using part of an existing work. It's loads of fun too, some work better than others of course! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #design #minimalcontemporary #minimalabstraction #modernabstract
I like the simplicity here; red is such a dynamic colour I felt it was best to keep the design uncomplicated. There are no rules. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #boldandabstract #contemporaryartist #modernart #red #geometricabstraction #digtalartist #decorationinterieur

I'm really happy with the way this work is developing. It started out as a very simple idea but has since expanded to this. I work at my craft every day, I find it's the only way I can move forward. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #minimalabstraction #digitalpainter #boldandabstract
A very simple contemporary abstract shape here focusing on colour & form. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartwork #contemporaryabstract #geometricabstraction #colouraesthetic #design #moderndesign
An artwork (sketch) I created a while back, I decided to take the rebellious act of turning it upside down! It works! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #minimalabstraction #geometricabstraction
And here we are today with an unexpected colour palette in that when I started out, I was working with very different colours. The beauty or the curse of the digital artist! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #colouraesthetic #contemporaryartist #design #minimalabstraction #minimalabstraction #geometricabstraction
A little number I have been playing around with recently. I quite like the way it is heading. I perhaps didn't mean it to be so pink but there you go. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #digtalpainter #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #minimalcontemporary #design #abstractexpressionism #colouraesthetic
Interplay of colour & form. Always new ideas, new approaches. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #design #designer #abstractexpressionism #contemporaryartist
Going with something very simple here. It always surprises me how creating something simple can sometimes take the longest time. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #minimalcontemporary #pink #geometricabstraction #modernabstract
Playing here with elements of dadaism. Humour, spontaneity, whimsy, artistic licence. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #dadism #contemporaryartist #minimalabstraction #abstractexpressionism #colouraesthetic #modernabstract #design

Continuing with the distorted circle. There are always so many variations once one starts to play around with the idea. Having fun! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #minimalcontemporary #minimalabstraction #boldandabstract #popabstraction
A bit of this & a bit of that; this is often how I throw it together. It sounds cumbersome but believe me, sometimes it works! Collage in plain speak. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #newmodern #newtechnologies #abstractartist #digtalartist #minimalcontemporary #minimalabstraction

An early photo taken in about 1980 standing outside my shop The Garb Shop on Toorak Rd, South Yarra. 1 am pictured here with my good friend Eve Skerrett who also designed clothes; we had a great time exchanging many design ideas. Having come from a science background working & studying in Canberra, I finally felt that I was doing something I really loved. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #fashiondesign #southyarra #design #clothingdesign #contemporaryartist

@melbourneartfair today. An excellent event, apologies to Louise Paramour as only a section of the photo includes a part of one of her wonderful works. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #louiseparamour #melbourne #exhibition
Back working with cut & paste. Collage is probably a more attractive word to describe the process. Having fun. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #collage #experimentalart #geometricabstraction #minimalcontemporary #popabstraction #fashion
I cannot help it, I have to work with colour & shape. In all my 40 years of experimenting with design in it's many applications, I guess I'm stuck with it! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #design #designer #popabstraction #popabstraction #geometricabstraction
On a slightly different path here, the road less travelled by me anyway. Simplicity plus. My daily practice. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #geometricabstraction #popcontemporary #popabstraction #boldandabstract #contemporaryartist #contemporaryartwork #design
I'm happy with the way this work is coming along. I'm liking the colour palette here; not too insipid & not too strong but I think it does pack a punch. My daily practice.

2 large murals I created for Toorak village in Melbourne working @stonningtoncitycouncil a couple of years ago. My good friend Kerry Voljay in the foreground. @philppariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #mural #toorakvillage #contemporaryartist #largescaleart #boldandabstract #popabstraction
Simplicity plus here, playing again with the circular idea. There is something very appealing about circles; they can look really dynamic especially in a large size work where they take center stage. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #circulardesign #design #melbournartist #contemporaryartwork #contemporaryartist #geometricabstraction #popabstraction #popcontemporary
A more unusual piece here. I'm not quite sure where this is heading but maybe it is already there. Time will tell! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #geometricabstraction #boldandabstract #contemporaryartist #popabstraction #digtalartist #contemporaryartwork #sketchbook
A lovely collector sent this photo of an artwork "Fanciful dream' which he bought from me last year. It's always great to get photos of artworks in situ from customers.

What do you do on a very hot day in Melbourne; art of course! A mild 38 degrees celsius!

New limited edition print 'Stand to reason' soon to be available exclusively @studiogallerygroup There are 3 new artworks in this series each measuring 59.4cm x 84.1cm Edition length of 5. Colour, form, space.

New work 'Over the top' soon to be available @studiogallerygroup This will measure 59.5 x 84.1cm so smaller than my current artworks there. I am working on 2 more works in this series. A pop of colour. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #limitededitionprint #contemporaryartist #minimalcontemporary #modernabstract #interiorstyling #design #geometricabstraction #popcontemporary #popabstraction
There is certainly something intrinsically interesting about the circle. I love it, it can be used in so many different ways. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #newmodern #abstractartist #minimalabstraction #boldandabstract

Here I am a couple of years ago standing in front of a large mural I designed @stonningtoncitycouncil in conjunction with the gallery Signed and Numbered. This was positioned on a shop front on Chapel St in South Yarra, Melbourne. I was commissioned to create a work to cover the front of a vacant shop space to encourage potential renters. This was the first of many murals which I have designed over the years. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #mural #largescaleart #design #designer #contemporaryartist #southyarra #chapelstreetprecinct #shopfront
Experimenting with cut-outs again here; there are always so many possibilities which makes it a whole lot more fun. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #minimalcontemporary #collage #contemporaryartist #design #designer #contemporaine #modernabstract #popabstraction #popcontemporary
A new work on the block. Again working with a palette I find easy to work with. Sketch at this stage. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #minimalcontemporary #minimalabstraction #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #contemporary #largescaleart #design #designer
A whirlwind of ideas at the moment. My sketchbook is bursting at the seams. Some of these sketchs will become limited edition prints. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #boldandabstract #minimalabstraction #digtalartist #geometricabstraction
A different colour palette here, it's good to pay attention to surprising colours at times; one can get very caught up in the predictable all too easily. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #experimentalart #minimalcontemporary #geometricabstraction #digtalartist
And on a more subtle note. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #digtalartist #minimalcontemporary #sketchbook #modernabstract #workinprogress #abstractart #peachfuzz
This time a slightly different approach. Reworking & using lots of layering techniques brought me this work. I'm content to leave it there. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #popabstraction #minimalcontemporary #digtalartist #modernabstract #contemporaryartist #contemporaryartwork #boldandabstract #sketchbook
A rework.of a rework. Fiddling with collage ideas again. Sketch at this stage. I am constantly trying out new approaches to my work, it's actually the fun part of being an art. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #modernart #minimalcontemporary #abstractexpressionism #geometricabstraction #popcontemporary
Sometimes it's the simplest of shapes that have the most impact. You may not believe me when I say that I worked on this piece for a long time; the subtle change within the colours here took me hours to achieve. I like how it turned out. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #contemporaryartist #minimalcontemporary #red #geometricabstraction #abstractartist #modernabstract #popcontemporary #colouraesthetic
Working in a slightly different way at the moment, I'm enjoying this quiet time enabling me to fully concentrate. It's interesting how sometimes it seems to take forever to arrive at something I consider to work. I know one just has to keep doing it until one gets it! @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #orange #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #colouraesthetic #popabstraction #digtalartist #minimalcontemporary #contemporaryartwork
Going with a warm feel here. It's certainly good to be back at the drawing board, I can never remove myself for too long, it's just part of my DNA to keep doing what I love to do. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #melbourne #contemporaryartist #modernabstract #sketchbook #new_and_abstract

Going for the less is more approach here. I've only just realised that my more recent works are quite reminiscent of the Bauhaus period from early 20th Century. It's always an interesting exercise to see how one's style changes over time. Geometric, abstract, minimalistic shapes are certainly the norm for me these days. @philippariddiford #philippariddiford #melbournartist #geometricabstraction #bauhaus #minimalabstraction #contemporaryartist #contemporaryartwork #abstractartist #melbourne #design #designer
