Mathieu Bories (Mateo) STATEMENT Collage and stencil artist Mathieu Bories, alias Mateo, questions the perception of the world which surrounds us. His humanistic approach emphasizes a nostalgia of childhood as well as a romanticism erased in our contemporary society. Forgotten images, photography, travel documents accumulated in search of timeless knowledge are the raw material of a personal composition, a monologue of the soul. “It’s not where you take things from, it’s where you take them to.” -Jean-Luc Godard BIO Born in France in 1985. After completing a Master’s degree in art in Toulouse, he headed to Montreal to study and work for 4 years. Then, he embarked on an 8 month journey around South America, where he continued to create murals throughout his time there. His influences are situated between street art and collage where the artist can experience a total freedom of materials. His work can be seen in France, Spain, Lithuania, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia. ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
