"I think my paintings are paintings of ideas. There is an abstract painter who will throw on canvas his emotional state, as they say. There is a realistic painter who will sketch a portrait of you in great strokes with a large brush, to express the violence inside of him or her. There are many kinds of painters: I am a painter of ideas who paints with delicacy and restraint."-Philippe Bertho http://bit.ly/PhilippeBertho Bertho's works feature figures that are self-portraits or images of his friends in exaggerated predicaments that mimic the complexities of modern life. His inclusion of recurring poses and props such as bubbles, circles, and inner tubes is a contemporary blend of Pop Art. MLG discovered the magic of Bertho over a decade ago and has marveled at the continued evolution of this master of trompe l’oeil. "Through my art, I create a visual story that only the viewer can complete by using their intellect, imagination, and sense of humor." — 

MLG proudly offers for acquisition the newest works of Philippe Bertho at its Costa Mesa gallery, located at their South Coast Plaza
