Philoche based the Untitled Series on the work of Mark Rothko, with heavily textured abstract expressionist pieces similar to Rothko’s. In fact, Philoche has stated “my ultimate goal is to be on the fifth floor of the MoMA next to a Rothko.” A hallmark of Philoche’s works since this series has also been a worn, gritty look meant to mimic faded New York City walls. The worn appearance is one of several signature elements Philoche incorporates into his works along with fields of solid colour that almost always have a diagonal silver line meant to divide the work between order and chaos; airplanes and butterflies made from lined paper or money; and Post No Bills flyers that are endemic to New York City.

Philoche has exhibited in galleries throughout the United States. He is currently represented by Cavalier Galleries with locations in Greenwich, CT, New York, NY, Nantucket, MA and Palm Beach, FL. Philoche’s works are held in public and private collections including those of Dorinda Medley of “Real Housewives of New York City,”Uma Thurman, George Clooney, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Barclay Investments, and Google.

Philoche regularly engages in philanthropy through art, both by purchasing the work of emerging artists and through anonymous donations of his art on the streets of New York, which he refers to as Art for the People. A major motivation for this was Philoche’s own experience trying to make a name for himself as an emerging artist and a desire to make the experience easier for other emerging artists.Word of Philoche’s philanthropy has reached emerging artists and collectors alike, influencing the latter to invest in his collecting project. This led to previously unexhibited artists securing future group exhibitions of their work.Philoche plans to bring as many artists from the collection to the public as possible, and in June 2021, hosted the first public exhibition featuring works from the collection at the Virgil Catherine Gallery in Chicago, IL.
