An illustrator, author and blogger at the same time, Jean-Philippe Delhomme graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Dégoriques and started working with the press very early on. From English Vogue to Glamour Paris, for thirty years now, the artist has observed and sketched the fashion world and the trendy society of Paris and New York with phlegm and humor. A chronicler of contemporary culture, Jean-Philippe Delhomme uses gouaches and colored pencils to create dense and colorful images. His illustrations are not very detailed but they are dense and set the scene: the artist tells the story of atmospheres. For the Castel, Jean-Philippe Delhomme pays tribute to this mythical place in a fresco that evokes the Parisian night, its fantasies, its eras and the pleasure of conversation. This fresco echoes the rather literary place that was the Castel with “people from very different backgrounds, artists and writers (..) but also people on the left, people on the right, navigators and finances.”
