Mathieu Carrier
Artistic approach
For Mathieu Carrier, art is a way to reach, entertain, and intrigue people. The linear, structural nature of his work establishes a sense of rhythm and brings viewers into a game with the artist.
Employing both paint and Chinese ink, Carrier not only contrasts mediums but also the results produced thereof; this is to say the deliberate painted shapes versus the random patterns created by the ink. The result is a harmonious balance which jointly captivates our attention and stimulates our imagination.
