A word about the artist

Born in 1954, Philippe Ughetto devotes himself to photography and collaborates with renowned photographers such as Helmut Newton. He plays with light, transparencies and materials to propose an extraordinary work. He proposes to deconstruct the artificial categories that strangle creation (baroque, raw, conceptual), revealing their shortcomings in his art: in this way, he abolishes the boundaries of representation.
