Manuel Mathieu’s work is informed by his upbringing in Haiti, where he was born, and the experience of emigrating to Montréal at the age of 19. His paintings investigate themes of historical violence, cultural erasure, and identity formation. A graduate of Goldsmith’s College, London, his recent exhibitions include at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami; De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill; K11 Art Foundation, Shanghai; Montréal Museum of Fine Arts; The Power Plant, Toronto; and the ICA, London.
