Louis Charles Dionne

Louis-Charles Dionne is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and researcher from the south shore of Montreal now based in Halifax. Graduated from Concordia University (Montreal, QC) in 2017 with a BFA in Sculpture and Art History, he is now pursuing an MFA in Fine and Media Arts at NSCADUniversity (Halifax, NS). He also recently earned a graduate diploma in Post-Secondary Education from the Université du Québec à Montréal (Montreal, QC).

His practice has evolved around foundry work; mostly with bronze and cast iron. More recently, he has developed a strong interest for stone carving, and performance. Dionne repositions mundane artifacts in order to twist and question relations with everyday objects. His work reorients the material cultures around us through slight shifts in their composition, framing and utility. To him, the ‘function’ and ‘affordance’ of things are open ended figures, perhaps figures of speech rather than completed stories.
