Philippe Cottin

Born in Paris (February 9th 1966). Starts practicing painting early in his youth, works as a photographer, then decides to paint again twenty-five years ago. Since, he alternates these both disciplines. Considering that they probably feed off each other.
He is interested by the invisible connections, the hidden links, the games of transparency, also the false combinations, and the subliminal side inherent to all representations, the one of the body, of a space or an event.
He is also intrigued by coincidences and accidents during production process, chance, lack of consistency and the vertue that results.
