Philippe Berry, "Sans Les Mains"
About the Item
Philippe Berry (French, 1956-2019), number 2 of an edition of eight, entitled: ''Sans les Mains'' (Without Hands), 1996, cast aluminum, initialed ''P.B.'', dated, and inscribed ''Fonderie du Gour''. Measurment of sculprue only 9-3/4'' H, 19-3/4'' L, 7-1/2'' W.
After studying at ESAG Penninghen in 1974, Philippe Berry first worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for various textile houses before becoming a model maker, then artistic director in various advertising agencies.
Between 1980 and 1984, Philippe Berry created posters for the cinema and theatrical scenery studies (in particular for Nuit d'ivresse, The Ex-Woman of My Life, Kitchen and Addictions, Solo, Partners, Un grand cri d'amore…) .
Passionate about art, he embarked on painting before devoting himself fully to sculpture in 1988.
His work is based on the exploration of childhood.
He describes himself as an artist motivated by joy and envy and sees his art as a way of bringing to life the toys he loves and wants to pass on.
He likes the idea that we can have different views on his works, thus offering a multiple reading.
Philippe Berry's work is a perfect blend of childish, colorful works and works of reflection on balance, technique and freedom.
