CRS presents an exhibition of paintings by French artist Philippe Halaburda. Philippe is a multidisciplinary artist who engages with the urban surroundings environment and emotions, feelings or memories from his direct experiences, mainly though colors. The exhibition will be on view from July 13 – September 13, 2017.

Philippe’s work explores into his own unlimited and unconscious psychological territories and delves into the complex undercurrents of intimate and collective relationships.Through paintings, abstracted photos and digital artworks, he tries to address more broadly the emotional structures within ourselves in the attempt to examine our world. He is interested in developing a new visual language with which to describe the randomness of cities and their relationship to human experience.
