Hôtel De Hermitage, Monte Carlo

7 December 2018

Something you do not experience everyday… when your paintings are put on display in the Eiffel Room of the Hôtel De Hermitage, Monte Carlo. The two paintings (oil on canvas, 4' x 3') have been attracting no end of appreciation from visitors and staff of this grand establishment, and are in fact numbers 1 and 2 of an ongoing collection of works to celebrate the grandeur and splendour of Monaco. A lavish and limited edition book will be published in 2019 to coincide with the exhibition of all of these paintings on completion.

Much gratitude to SBM for allowing me unprecedented access to the various buildings, casinos, opera house and palaces to assist in my research.

Lions of The North

3 December 2018

Peter Phillips was honoured to provide the cover painting for ‘Lions Of The North’, a new book by the Duke of Northumberland.

“From the Norman Conquest to the present day, the story of Alnwick Castle and the Percy family has been woven into the fabric of British history. The castle represented the family’s dominance in the north and stood guard over the disputed, bloodstained borderlands.”

Wynyard Park — a different vision

19 April 2018

Phillips Creative has worked closely with Wynyard Park to create a brand and identity to set them apart, define the company ethos, and determine aspirations.

A joint venture company, Wynyard Park was formed in 2005 with the purpose of creating one of the country’s largest mixed use developments at 885 acres, delivering a new settlement incorporating business space, health and recreational facilities and new homes.

The various marketing materials and literature we have produced, as well as project co-ordination for the whole development from corporate identity to landscaping, serve to enhance an already strong position in the marketplace.
