Biography
Born in Montréal in 1973, Luce Meunier has spent more than 25 years developing a self-taught experimental art practice centred around the power of materials to act and react. With a deliberate economy of means, she has explored the conditions in which images emerge, generated as much by the materiality of the medium as by the properties or structure of the support.
Having lived in Montréal since the beginning of her career, she set up in 2024 her new creative laboratories in her home-studio in Canton de Valcourt, Quebec, surrounded by the wide open spaces of nature.
She has distinguished herself in numerous individual and group exhibitions across Canada. Her work has been featured in retrospective exhibitions at the Maison de la culture Claude-Léveillée (Montréal) and the Centre d’exposition Yvonne L. Bombardier (Valcourt), in individual shows at Bradley Ertaskiran (Montréal), Christie Contemporary (Toronto), the Centre d’exposition Plein sud (Longueuil), and the Centre Clark (Montréal), as well as in many group exhibitions, at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie Saint-Paul, the Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières (BIEC), the Karsh-Masson Gallery (Ottawa), and the Dunlop Art Gallery (Regina). Luce Meunier’s works can be found in various private and institutional collections, including the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (CPOAQ), the National Bank of Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada, as well as the Desjardins, Hydro-Québec, City of Montréal and Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec collections, among many others.
