Works

Ovalicity, 2004

Ovalicity is a series of paintings engaging with oval shaped marks depicted across the work's "painterly, atmospheric surfaces." [2]

Trippy Ethers, 2009

Trippy Ethers is a series of painting moving away from expressive marks of shapes, and utilizing strokes to create small marks of paint, ranging over the canvas. There is no accumulating image that rises out of the painted surface, but instead the sense of space and dimension is formed in the viewer's mind. Trippy Ethers can be understood as an attempt to reverse the contemporary conditions of information overload. Kelowna Art Gallery describes Phan's series as being "not monotonous...," but as "rich, meditative, contemplative works that invoke a quietude within the viewer". [2]
