Phelps Phine Art is Julian Phelps who is an abstract painter exploring the mysteries in nature. I work through the mediums: enamel, oil & cold-wax, and mixed media. My artworks range from miniature to enormous on 2D & 3D surfaces, all hand-painted originals for affordable prices. Within nature, I paint what you can see and depict what cannot be seen: floral & tribal designs, dreamy nature & critters, energy & movement.

​

My studio, Phelps Phine Art, is located in the beating heart of downtown Durham, 

in the back entry of Durham Arts Place

305 East Chapel Hill Street, Durham, North Carolina, United States

​

Studio open hours are on Durham 3rd Fridays 6-9pm, downtown events, and by appointment.   

​

During studio openings, there is usually exterior art in the open alley in between Foster & Holland Street, then (literally) through a hole and then another hole behind one of Durham's last historical brick walls is Phelps Phine Art Studio.

The front studio presents selected paintings in an all white painted room, and the back studio is my ongoing Black Light Installation, "Walk in Depth," which is an all black painted room. 

​

"Walk in Depth" is an immersive installation that explores mental and physical space through fluorescent painting and black lighting. Pictures are encouraged. Wear white/light colored clothing & you will glow!

It is ongoing and continuously transforming since November 2017.
