In muted, dreamy colors, Philippe Ringlet paints the everyday world in a nuanced, emotionally resonant manner. Working with oil paint on wood, Ringlet’s pieces seem bathed in light. His subject matter is simple, yet goes beyond the ordinary still-life genre. Instead of merely representing the natural world, Ringlet suffuses it with personal sensations and subtle emotion. Though his work has an airy quality to it, it also contains a surprising depth, achieved by Ringlet’s layering of color and inspired use of perspective. Ringlet grants the viewer access to the very essence of ordinary reality, a space in which color, light and form all convene in beautiful harmony. Philippe Ringlet has exhibited his work in solo exhibitions all over France and throughout Europe. He currently lives and works in Switzerland
