French born painter and illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme has a very personal appreciation of New York filtered through his knowledge of history of photography, film and literature. Diminutive abstract compositions of grays and beiges interpret the simple masses of the industrial buildings, unrepentant brushstrokes define the perspective of large avenues, accents of bright color signal parked dump trucks or concrete mixer in his paintings. Few painters today can paint without taking a critical stance about the state of the medium, but Jean-Philippe Delhomme achieves this freedom and pays tribute to painters he admires along the way.
Jean-Philippe Delhome has contributed to numerous magazines around the world since the late 80’s, produced award winning ad campaigns, notably for Barneys New York. He is a chronicler of culture, from his popular blog “the Unknown Hipster” to his weekly story in Zeit Magazin “Pariser Tagerbuch.” His work has been internationally exhibited and in New York he has held exhibitions at Partners and Spade, Danziger Projects and Wright Gallery. The city has recently been the subject of his book New York Travel Book published by Louis Vuitton in 2013, which includes more than a hundred gouache paintings that represent both landmark and less chartered sites. …
