Philippe Gaulier

Art Director at Framestore

Philippe Gaulier graduated from the ESAG Penninghen in Paris in 1999, where he studied graphic design, illustration, and art direction. After working for a few years in Paris, he eventually crossed the sea to London to work in the film industry. There he enjoyed some senior positions in the art departments at various major VFX facilities, including Double Negative, MPC, and Method Studios.


While at Method, he developed relationships with other studios and worked directly for Marvel, Disney, Warner Bros, and others as part of their on-set Art Department teams. Some of the most recent films he has worked on include The Matrix Resurrections, Slumberland, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. 


Philippe moved to Los Angeles to work as Art Director for Method Studios for several years before later joining Framestore as Art Director, where he’s now been working for the last three years.

  • Philippe Gaulier is one of the best concept artists I’ve had the pleasure to work with on many epic-scale visual films. One can easily lose themselves in his layered illustrations. He has brought his incredible skills as an illustrator transcending seamlessly to the digital medium. It would be a boon to anyone to receive his techniques, knowledge, and insights using these creative tools. Philippe is relentless in the adaptation of his fantastic art in the ever-changing digital world while keeping the integrity of classic conceptual art and originality. It would be truly beneficial and advantageous to any artist to see how Philippe navigates his creativity within these digital mediums.

  • I've been a huge fan of Philippe Gaulier’s artwork for many years. He is a master of world-building, and his skills with atmosphere, mood, and scale are constantly inspirational. He has so much experience in the entertainment industry with a wide variety of A-list projects. I was lucky enough to work closely with him on a few films and got to see behind the curtain of Philippe's techniques and tricks. What’s even more impressive is that he can be so talented but also deeply humble and willing to share what he has gathered from a highly successful career. Don’t miss a chance to learn from him, as he has a deep well of artistic, technical, and industry knowledge!

  • The first time I saw Philippe’s work was when his amazing illustrations for Jupiter Ascending were trending on all the concept art websites. Since then, I have followed his stellar career on many of the most sought-after franchises. He is truly one of the most prolific and inspired artists in the industry and all while remaining an amazingly kind person. I am convinced that his Gnomon Workshop tutorials will quickly become indispensable for any aspiring artist in the entertainment industry.
