Since the 1980s, Philippe Perrin has been an unconventional figure on the international art scene, known for his short temper and bad-boy image. His work blends reality and fiction, evoking symbols of violence taken from a variety of genres, such as crime fiction, cinema, or popular culture. Notably, he often plays with scale, enlarging objects such as a revolver or a razor blade to monumental sizes. His work has been the subject of many gallery and museum shows, including his retrospective at the Maison Européene de la Photographie, at the Fondation Maeght.
