Philippe Weisbecker is a well-known French illustrator.

Born in 1942, he studied interior design in Paris. After graduating, he moved to New York and began his career as an illustrator at the age of 30. His work has been published in mainstream American publications such as the New York Times, Time Magazine and the New Yorker. His recent art posters for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have also received numerous positive reviews.

Weisbecker's art is essentially a depiction of elements of everyday life that have not been affected by the changing moods of the times. From tools to appliances, from industrial buildings to public housing, and so on. His work is the opposite of "spectacular", advocating a return to the original meaning of things, with a simple technical approach (painting) and a simple message. For the artist, it is important to represent things through their obviousness. He creates a kind of catalog, a kind of list of the things he sees. Like Perec in literature,Weisbeckerwants to draw attention to the ordinary, the known, the "unusual", the things that we no longer see because we see them every day.

"When objects become part of everyday life, they become more and more insignificant with frequent use; we never think about why they came to be or want to change them; it is only when you look at them carefully that you are surprised at how simple and varied they are."

From vessels, storage, tools and cameras, to clothing, tables and chairs, architecture and transportation, the artisans have detailed almost all common objects. The drawings all share a similar perspective and simple but unexpectedly somewhat elegant lines, as if to speak of a utopia that exists in parallel and has never been intruded upon.

In the late 90s,Philippegradually moved from accepting project commissions to discovering and expressing his own original works. Through a unique stylistic aesthetic and a calm and focused delivery of the view, Philippe Weisbecker established his own unique artistic language that has gained public recognition and affection.

In recent years,Philippehas worked on a number of graphic design projects in Japan, and the clean images and meticulous compositions are a delight to the eye. The pencils are carefully colored on yellowed paper, creating a distinctive vintage charm. This charm, sculpted by time, has earned the artist a large following. As his reputation built up and his popularity grew, his works were selected for commercial projects in advertisements of numerous companies.
