PHIBS is one of the most respected and renowned names in Australian Graffiti and Street Art. His public artworks are prolific in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as in many far-flung places across the globe.

PHIBS’ distinctive style signifies the symbiotic, engaging the urban with the organic. He produces works across a vast variety of mediums and consistently reflects his own unique realms of symbolism, multiculturalism and mythology. Largely inspired by nature, his works have spawned a menagerie of signature characters. He is one of Australia’s most experienced muralists with over two decades of large scale walls to his name.

Tim ‘PHIBS’ has strong ties to the far south coast region of Australia, in particular, Narooma, where his mother’s side of the family was responsible for establishing the historic Mitchell Bros’ Mill.

He has painted so many walls around Fitzroy, an inner suburb of Melbourne, that it is affectionately known by locals as ‘Phibsroy’.

Originally from Sydney, PHIBS came from a strong graffiti background and was active in community programs, inspiring the artistic potential of this now popular art form.

Moving to Melbourne in 2001 saw PHIBS exposed to an evolving Melbourne street art scene and he joined the Everfresh Studio collective. In Melbourne, PHIBS established a name within the fine arts world and rapidly became one of the city’s most respected and renowned artists, on and off the streets.

PHIBS distinctive style has attracted numerous major brands and publications, and several of his works have been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia for its permanent collection.

Now based back in Sydney, PHIBS continues to exhibit interstate and internationally in galleries, on walls and at various festivals.
