Philippe Delenseigne: the artist who reflects on the Essence of Mankind

Forte dei Marmi
Philippe Delenseigne, native of Calais, is a versatile French artist who enjoys experimenting with techniques and using a wide range of materials to create his artworks. From the most noble and celebrated materials such as marble and bronze, to the more common substances like plastic and glue, Philippe's works are characterized by their incredible communicative effectiveness and the attention given to the experiential factor.
What truly unifies his works is the artist's commitment to engaging his viewers. His pieces are created in a way that captures the observer's attention and encourages reflection on current themes.
From the beginning of his career, Philippe Delenseigne has demonstrated a natural talent for art. He is a self-taught artist who has dedicated himself to painting, sculpture, and video-art.
Philippe Delenseigne's works, appreciated by critics and collectors worldwide for being highly engaging and thought-provoking, are exhibited in cities such as Tokyo, Prague, Vienna, Grasse, Barcelona, Oslo, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Carrara, Pietrasanta, Milan, Turin, La Spezia, and Pescara.
 
However, what perhaps leaves the viewer most astonished is Philippe's mastery in addressing the most current and controversial topics of the moment. At the core of his interest lies reflection on genetics and its impact on society, global warming with its devastating effects on the planet, and eroticism, often explored in his works.
The meticulously crafted material he works with thus conveys an existential message that leads the viewer to question their own existence and essence.
