Philippe Richard[1] (born February 25, 1962) is a French artist, based in Paris, France.
Richard [3] studied painting at the School of the Art Institute of Paris (École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts).
In 1997 he received a grant from the FIACRE (Fonds National d’Art Contemporain) to do a project in New York.
Since a few years ago, Richard’s paintings leave the canvas to benefit the art space and its walls.
This work started in 1996 in Iceland when he released 180 bottles into the sea, each containing a different gouache titled « Months, years ».
