PHILIPPE JUSFORGUES is a 40-year old French artist represented by several galleries in the United States, including the Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago and the Morehouse Gallery in Brookline, MA.

  5. I love these. I love the way they look. They're so visually startling and creepy and oddly funny all at the same time.
