Jean-Paul PHILIPPE (born in 1944), “Abstract Composition-1974” wall hanging in velvet
Description
What I like
I like this wall hanging for this abstract decor which recalls certain creations from the 1930s. Let’s not forget that it was at this time, at the beginning of the 1970s, that Art Deco was rediscovered, in particular thanks to the Jacques Doucet’s sale, orchestrated by Me Solanet: trend setters such as Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent are passionate about the creations of this era.
I like the superb composition on a dark brown background, deploying these striped or different beige patterns on a large rust-orange solid.
I also like the fact that this hanging is a unique work, born from a small series.
Finally, the career and work of Jean-Paul Philippe are absolutely fascinating: we will take a look at his website jeanpaulphilippe.eu.
I think that the quality of his sculpted work, which occupied him more from 1976, is attested by the purchases by museums (Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, National Contemporary Art Fund, etc.), the commissions public, exhibitions throughout Europe, in particular at the Galerie Jeanne Bucher… He is also the winner of numerous prizes (Bourdelle Prize, Dumas-Millier Prize of the Academie des Beaux-Arts- Institut de France, Grand Prize for Sculpture of the Foundation Del Duca…) not to mention his election as an associate member by the Royal Academy of Sciences, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium, succeeding Eduardo Chillida!
We have the chance to present a youthful work by an artist who is 30 years old, but already in possession of all his talent!!
Technical description
Jean-Paul PHILIPPE (born in 1944)
“Abstract composition”-1974
Velvet wall hanging, spray projection of aniline dyes with covers.
Monogrammed “JP” and dated 74 at the bottom left.
Unique copy.
Two small, faint discolorations.
We thank Jean-Paul Philippe who authenticated this piece in a photo and told us the technique and circumstances of creation.
In the 1970s, J.P. Philippe created unique fabrics painted using this technique for Denise Bourillon, a stylist located at 101, rue du Bac-Paris VII, which the latter used for her creations. He also created some rare hangings, all equally unique, for decorative purposes: the one we present is one of them.

Mix & Match
This beautiful hanging by Jean-Paul Philippe is a work of art and as such it has the legitimacy to adorn all walls, whatever the type of furniture or decoration. It will spread its elegant atmosphere, its refined chromatism wherever it is located: let us add that its character as a unique piece will give your home a marked distinctive character!
Its palette of browns and tans will allow it to coexist wonderfully with our little 1830 mahogany chaise longue! or with the walnut of the large office of the Banque de France from the 1960s! We also think of the mahogany of the large “Oeil” sideboard by Joseph André Motte published by Les Huchers in the same years! Its cubist pattern will respond to the more austere lines of the Grass Hopper armchairs by Sonja Wasseur, from the end of the 60s or early from the 70s but also with the clean lines of the G10 armchairs by Pierre Guariche.
Much smaller in size than the “Composition metallica” tapestry by Enrique Broglia, it takes up its palette and can easily be exhibited in the same room!
Obviously, the smoked plexiglass combined with the beige suede of the two armchairs produced by Apelbaum-Paris at the end of the 1960s will benefit from the beauty of our hanging.

The artist
Jean-Paul Philippe was born in France in 1944 and devoted himself to painting very early on. From the age of 16, he attended the Beaux-Arts in Paris, without ever wanting to join a master’s workshop. In 1960 a first trip to Italy had a profound impact on him and he decided to stay in Florence the following year where he worked in the Drawings Cabinet of the Uffizi Museum. From then on he travels. Out of necessity and curiosity he practices various disciplines.
It was around 1973 that sculpture became the preferred medium for a free work, which does not claim to belong to any group, school or system: an interior archeology where only encounters and travels leave their imprints visible. A work which also adapts to the constraints of monumental creation linked to public space and which finds therein one of its reasons for being.
This work is accomplished from the intimacy of the workshop to the public space, from drawings to sculptures, from creations in an urban environment or linked to the natural environment. Several events, notably at the Jeanne-Bucher gallery in Paris, exhibitions in various museums in France and abroad, some monumental and public interventions have been able to reflect this gesture, which seeks nothing other than the complicity of a look and a body, between forgetting and memory, stones and papers, absence and presence.
