Philip Rosieur always thinks your lying. He knows that you think disgusting things. Just like him.
He has an uneasy disposition regarding the opposite sex and modern gender roles. Because of this sense of unsettlement, he seems to constantly explore a hostile environment that is dominated by the female presence.

In this environment, Rosieur pits common stereotypes of men with hyper-inflated and equally deflated sexualities against a barrage of women who both inflict and endure cruelties to herald the redundancy of their male counterparts.

What emerges are a series of loosely inter-related works, linked by a broken narrative that explores the human condition, overt sexuality, the bizarre, madness and violence.

It’s not uncommon for him to be found mixing horny lesbians, six shooters, laughing heads, severed limbs and hyperbolic characters to create an ever-present unsettling feeling within his works.

To capture such a savage contemporary universe, Rosieur primarily uses ink and watercolour paints to depict an innocent and naïve style of illustration.

Often tongue-in-cheek, his narratives strive to create a sense of drama, evoke humour, stimulate suspense and hopefully, arouse suspicion and surprise.
