| Paul Mathieu writes about his work: “My work is an investigation of the role and function of ceramics within culture in general and art in particular. I see ceramics (and pottery) as an independent, autonomous and specific art form and it is this specificity that my work explores, around concepts particular to craft practices, like decoration, function and containment, in a unique relation to various contexts, to time, to history and to human experiences”.
Paul Mathieu born in 1954, has been a student of ceramics since 1972. He received his MFA from UCLA in 1987. Mathieu has taught since 1976 in Montreal at the college and university levels, but also in Mexico and in Paris at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. In 1996 he started teaching in Vancouver in the Faculty of Visual and Material Culture at the Emily Carr University.
