Philippe Gaulier

Art Director at Framestore

Philippe Gaulier is an Art Director at Framestore with extensive experience in film and VFX. He graduated from ESAG Penninghen in Paris in 1999, studying graphic design, illustration, and art direction. After starting his career in Paris, Philippe moved to London, taking senior roles in the art departments of leading VFX studios including Double Negative, MPC, and Method Studios.


While at Method, he collaborated directly with major studios such as Marvel, Disney, and Warner Bros., often as part of on-set art department teams. His recent film credits include The Matrix Resurrections, Slumberland, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.


Philippe later relocated to Los Angeles, serving as Art Director for Method Studios before joining Framestore, where he continues to create compelling visual worlds and guide teams in delivering high-end cinematic experiences.

  • I’ve had the pleasure to work with Philippe 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 art in the ever-changing digital world while keeping the integrity of classic conceptual art and originality.

  • I've been a huge fan of Philippe’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. Don’t miss a chance to learn from him.

  • 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.
