I have a Dream

Expressive Emotion Collection · 2018 · In motion

90x120cm

Price upon Inquiry

I have a Dream is a layered pop art portrait of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates. The title introduces ideas of vision and aspiration, while silver mirror details make light and the surrounding space part of the image itself. Created in 2018, painted portrait and reflection shift in relation to one another as the viewer moves, allowing the work to connect memory, place and changing perspective.

Amanda Seyfried’s eyes behind pink glasses in Why…?, layered kinetic art on plexiglass by Fabian PhiL

Why…?

Expressive Emotion Collection · 2021 · In motion

120x120cm

Price upon Inquiry

Why…? is a layered portrait of Amanda Seyfried built around the ambiguity of her gaze. The title turns a familiar face into an unanswered question: curiosity, doubt, challenge or vulnerability can emerge depending on how the expression is read. Painted across separate plexiglass layers in 2021, the vertical marks shift across Amanda Seyfried’s face as the viewer moves. The portrait changes physically while its meaning remains deliberately unresolved.

Oh Dear

Expressive Emotion Collection · 2018 · In motion

90x120cm

Price upon Inquiry

Oh Dear is a layered pop art portrait of Twiggy, the model and cultural icon associated with 1960s fashion. Her distinctive gaze becomes a suspended moment of surprise, vulnerability and theatrical tension, while the short title leaves the emotion deliberately open. Painted across separate plexiglass layers in 2018, facial lines subtly realign as the viewer moves, bringing Twiggy’s expression and Fabian PhiL’s changing-perspective technique together.

Ooh!, kinetic pop art portrait of a surprised face with a pink cherry at the open mouth, on layered plexiglass by Fabian PhiL

Ooh!

Expressive Emotion Collection · 2020 · In motion

90x120cm

Price upon Inquiry

Ooh! is built around an immediate emotional reaction: wide eyes, an open mouth and a fluorescent pink cherry set against an otherwise black-and-white face. The short title gives the viewer almost no explanation, so attention returns quickly to the expression: surprise, curiosity, pleasure or disbelief can all be projected onto it. Created in 2020 across layered plexiglass, the portrait changes subtly with movement. The work shows how Fabian PhiL uses both a shifting image and a minimal title to keep interpretation open.

Blue Lady

Expressive Emotion Collection · 2011 · In motion

90x120cm

Price upon Inquiry

Blue Lady marks the beginning of Fabian PhiL’s layered kinetic approach. Created in 2011, it was the first work in which separate plexiglass layers became central to the changing image. Painted lines and facial features no longer remain perfectly fixed from one viewpoint to the next: as the viewer moves, the portrait subtly realigns. That discovery became a foundation for the later Signature Works, Pop Glasses and the broader idea behind POP ART THAT MOVES.

The Last One!

Expressive Emotion Collection · 2017 · In motion

120x90cm

Price upon Inquiry

The Last One! is a large layered portrait of Keith Richards, guitarist of The Rolling Stones. The title introduces a sense of finality and tension before the image even begins to move, while leaving its meaning deliberately unresolved. Painted across plexiglass sheets in 2017, facial lines shift into different alignments as the viewer changes position. Keith Richards’ recognisable face therefore never feels completely fixed, linking rock iconography with Fabian PhiL’s interest in gaze and perspective.
