Philippe Guerry

Philippe Guerry, a contemporary French artist, discovered the transformative power of painting during his formative years at the Beaux Arts de Mâcon in 1983. One of the defining themes in Guerry's oeuvre is his exploration of the First World War, a subject that has found a poignant home in museums across Verdun, Montreuil sous Bois, Tournus, and Pont de Vaux. 

Beyond his immersive engagement with the war's legacy, Philippe Guerry regularly exhibits his broader body of work in the Rhône-Alpes and Burgundy regions. His artistic expression extends beyond the canvas, aiming to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of his local community and beyond.

For Guerry, painting is not merely a form of artistic expression; it is a vehicle for repair, a means to "renovate" the world, infusing it with joy, desire, and, most importantly, life. In a world often overshadowed by destruction, speculation, and vanity, he sees painting as a powerful force that survives in the contemporary cacophony.

Driven by a tangible objective, Philippe Guerry seeks to be part of a movement that, despite the challenges, continues to breathe life into the world. His work is a reflection of this aspiration, inviting viewers to open their eyes to the transformative potential of art and its ability to bring joy and renewal to individuals and communities alike. As an artist with a profound belief in the reparative nature of painting, Guerry stands as a beacon in the contemporary art scene, advocating for the enduring power of creativity in the face of adversity.
