Jean-Pierre Philibert

Jean-Pierre Philibert offers an engaged perspective through his art, delving into profound themes such as migration. His commitment has led him to collaborate with organizations like Cimade (Comité Inter-Mouvements Auprès Des Évacués), an association dedicated to solidarity with refugees and migrants since 1939.

As a self-taught artist, Jean-Pierre Philibert has been painting with oils for over thirty years, favoring large formats and employing traditional techniques. His use of the palette knife creates a unique luminosity, playing with contrasts of light and shadow to bring evocative silhouettes to life. Viewers are immediately drawn in by the texture, often by the presence of a central figure, prompting reflection.

Philibert's inspirations stem from the present moment, his emotions, and his tragic perception of contemporary events. Through his canvases, he narrates stories of wandering, imposed solitude, and waiting. The characters he portrays become universal symbols of the human experience, encountered on the canvas yet somehow familiar, as if we've encountered them before.
