Philippe Le Closier

I am a visual artist who grew up in Brussels, Belgium and has lived in the US since 2016.
In the early 2000s, I lived in Paris and started painting on the walls of my Montparnasse neighborhood (famous in the 50's for being the gathering point of writers and painters i.e Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Modigliani....).
From there, I developed I my own style which is a mix between Pop Art (Warhol, Basquiat, Lichtenstein, Keith Haring...) and street art (Banksy, Blek le Rat, Miss Tic, Mr. Brainwash, ....).
A few years later, I have made official portraits for tennis players (Billie Jean King, Serena Williams, Chris Evert, Kei Nishikori, Gustavo "Guga" Kuerten, Bryan Brothers, David Goffin, Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jeremy Chardy), American golf player Cristie Kerr or Paris-Saint-Germain's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi (among others).
​In May 2016, my portrait of Chief Justice Stephen Breyer, member of the US Supreme Court, was offered to him at the French Embassy in Washington, DC.
My works have been seen and sold all around the world : USA, Canada, UK, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine, Sweden, Austria, China, Australia, Japan, Israel, Dubai...
