Following in the footsteps of Duchamp and Mondrian, Mathieu Mercier strives to detect and reveal the place of beauty in everyday objects. His multiple talents as a painter, sculptor, architect, and filmmaker have led him to work with objects resulting from mass consumption that we all know but which are then perceived in an aesthetic and artistic way.
Mathieu Mercier's work is heterogeneous and plays on the criteria that critical analyses have used to describe it. Abstraction, objectivity, simulacrum, appropriation, ready-made, hijacked functionalism?
They are correct, but their enumeration is part of a nomenclature that borders on the absurd. There are references to human, natural and social sciences, it brings a new look on the object.
Since the beginning of his career, Mathieu Mercier leads a reflection on the definition of the place of the object, both in the consumer industry and in the field of art. His research results in a permanent questioning of the symbolic and utilitarian functions of objects.

Presentation
Mathieu Mercier is a French painter born in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine in 1970. He lives and works in Paris. He holds a degree from the École nationale supérieure d'art de Bourges and the Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques of Paris.
Mathieu Mercier's work explores the relationship between contemporary mass-produced consumer objects and their aesthetic origins in early 20th Century art and design. He frequently employs common household and industrial materials to create his sculptural, photographic, and wall-based works.
Mercier's work often refers to utopian movements such as De Stijl and Russian Constructivism. One series of sculptures, titled 'Drum and Bass', recreates classic Mondrain compositions out of black DIY shelving and primary-colored household objects such as plastic bins, extension cables, and stationary folders. In 'Plastic Anchors Wall', Mercier again traces the use of primary colors from early Modernist art, through to their function as color coding for different sizes of screw anchors. By creating a dialogue between utopian art and design icons and contemporary mass-produced objects, Mercier highlights the evolution of the meaning of "modernity", from a social project, to a capital gain.
