Mathieu Lacroix lives and works in Montreal. He holds a bachelor's degree in visual arts from the University of Quebec in Montreal (2006). Since 2003, he has participated in several group exhibitions in artist centers and galleries. In addition, he took part in various cultural events in Quebec. His work has recently been seen at McBride Contemporain (2021), the Clark Center for Art and Dissemination (2021) and in Toronto as part of the action art event 7a * 11d (2018). The artist is the new recipient of a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts for the La Variante project. Mathieu Lacroix is an active member of the Pique-nique collective (2003-) and has collaborated on the Jean Couteau (2018-2021) and Dessinator (2005-2010) project.

Mathieu Lacroix's work places the cardboard box at the center of his work where the different practices follow and juxtapose. Lacroix explores and plays with the notion of perspective in the spatialization of his work. He puts forward the raw aesthetic of the object, with the consumer society as its subject in the background. Thus he produces unusual places, loaded with references ranging from the domestic universe, to the commercial domain. Lacroix's interventions question the complex and twisted link that exists between the individual, his environment and his identity. Through its ephemeral productions, the theater of the common is on the one hand put forward and on the other perverted by the construction of a poetic unreality.

Lacroix is represented by the  McBride Contemporain  gallery.

The artist thanks the Conseil des arts de Montréal for its financial support
