Statement

Multidisciplinary artist and designer. Paris, France, 1978.

Jean Philippe’s work centers around a deep observation of the urban environment. He approaches the city like an archeologist, exploring urban wastelands during his wanderings, seeking out elements that often escape our notice. Through his art, he raises questions about our cultural heritage and the traces we will leave behind for future generations.

Materials play a crucial role in his artistic exploration, with a consistent focus on using concrete, plaster, ceramic, and polyester resin. These materials serve as the foundation for his work, enabling him to create what he refers to as an "archeology of the present." Drawing inspiration from architecture and human artifacts, he crafts pieces that aim to rehabilitate and reimagine the overlooked heritage of the mundane.
