Philippe Bertho

Pop Art, trompe l”oeil, illusionistic. French-born, Philippe Bertho’s paintings create a world of whimsy and mischief.  His  characters  climb, search, run and think as each painting becomes a sketch of his fanciful  imagination. Most recently Pop Art has become his focus. The combination of his characters and pop art result in his simple, captivating artworks.  Artistically his technique is exacting, decisive and masterful. His creative imagination combines with a surrealness that makes us wonder “What was the artist thinking when he painted this?” Or, maybe he would want us to wonder “What are we thinking when we view his artwork?”
