« The great artists are those who impose their personal vision upon humanity ». Philip Trusttum was definitely one of these. His oeuvre was an extension of how he approached life: fully. Philip was 1000%. No looking back. Full turbo. Authentic like no-one. « Do you like tennis? » was one of the questions we remember him asking us when welcoming us into his home. The smile that appeared on his face when answering « yes », followed by the vivid conversations about sports, arts and life it sparked will forever remain. Philip didn’t hesitate a second for becoming part of our project; he didn’t care about what other people might think; what the art community might say; he simply listened to his heart and that made him so special. Ultimately, he trusted us for showing his art in Europe. He was the first artist we exhibited in our freshly opened gallery. He believed in us and made us so proud. We wouldn’t be where we are today without him. While we are deeply sadened by his passing away, we are extremely grateful for having crossed path with such an extraordinary artist and soul. As we told him in our last e-mail, we’ll continue make him proud and show Europe the incredible artist he was and will forever remain. Thanks for everything. With all our love, Arthur and Eugenie 💖
