WELCOME ​

 

Philippe Guillerm began his professional life in Paris, France where he was born in the late 1950s. He has traveled around the world on his forty-eight foot sailboat, the YaYa, with his wife Jacqueline and their two daughters. While cruising in the winter, Phillipe can be found scouting for interesting pieces of driftwood or working on art projects at the Black Pearl Museum in Tahiti, the International airports in Papeete and New Caledonia, and several yacht clubs and restaurants from Brazil to Australia. In warmer weather he also creates new work in his studio\home located in Maine.

Guillerm's music-inspired sculptures are often whimsical and curvaceous stringed instruments. His works inspires dreams, illusions, and invite the viewer to stop and reflect on the music in human nature. Philippe's work has been exhibited in galleries in Europe, South America, the Pacific Islands, France, Canada and the United States.

               BIENVENUE

Né à Paris, mais d’origine bretonne, Philippe Guillerm, bien qu’ayant fait des études en ingénierie mécanique s’oriente vers la sculpture pour s’exprimer.

Le Breton en lui reste fidèle à ses origines et l’appel de la mer l’amène au fil des ans à naviguer sur ses voiliers un peu partout dans le monde où les bois récupérés, spécifiques de certaines contrées comme l’Australie, la Nouvelle Caledonie, Tahiti, le Brésil, l’Argentine, lui servent de matière première, de source d’inspiration.

En filigrane, son oeuvre traduit ses influences européennes sans oublier le legs de son père qui travaille le bois dans le monde de la construction navale.

Ses oeuvres peuvent être admirées dans plusieurs parties du monde : l’aéroport de Curacao, le Musée de la Perle Noire à Tahiti, La Mairie de Punauia à Tahiti, l’aéroport et  la Cour des Compte de Nouméa en Nouvelle Calédonie, plusieurs clubs nautiques au Brésil et en Argentine.

La musique l’inspire plus que tout. Il regrette d’avoir abandonné l’étude de ses instruments de prédilection, mais il se console en les sculptant avec passion, humour, en partageant cet engouemnet avec le plus grand nombre

Depuis plusieurs années, Philippe vit aux États-Unis et son art rencontre tous les possibles de l’humain avec une harmonie communicative et un attachement des plus profonds.
