A French-American artist, he is living in Topanga, California. Born in 1957, his mother, Arlette Oger, and his uncle, Jean Oger, were established artists in France, and influenced Philippe’s creativity at an early age.
Philippe is also highly respected figure within the performing arts field. He was made an honorary member of the Actors Studio in 1981 and a graduate of Uta Hagen’s academy of actors at HB Studio. Philippe formally studied with well-known art educator and sculptor Francis Coelho, in San Francisco, CA. An important part of his artistic development is owed to having worked extensively as a performer. He’s the original founder of the Hollywood Actors Studio where he has taught and lectured on creativity and artistic self-expression since 1989.
Exhibitions of his work are taking place worldwide including those at MOCA Museum of Computer Art in New York and his paintings are found in many public and private collections in the U.S. and Europe. He is the recipient of awards and prizes in United States for his artistic merit. He continues to study art as it relates to self-realization and the healing powers of color and abstract compositions.
