Considered a master of the trompe l’oeil style of painting, Philippe Bertho, is known for his fresh variations on the theme of modern man’s daily interaction with life. Influenced by a number of important modern masters from Norman Rockwell to Basquiat, Bertho’s paintings feature figures that are self-portraits or images of his friends in exaggerated predicaments that mimic the complexities of modern life. His inclusion of recurring poses and props such as bubbles, circles and inner tubes is a contemporary blend of Pop Art.
His latest paintings and most recent graphics, Julie Glucose, Odile Lemoy and Agathe Lovignoux reference graffiti or street art and perhaps prodding viewers to question the advertising that they are bombarded with on a daily basis.
