[English follows] La série de « Dessin » de Ludovic Boney est faite sur papier sablé. Le papier sablé a servi dans le polissage d’œuvres sculpturales et l’artiste colore ce papier usé au lieu de le jeter avec des crayons de manière à marquer le papier témoin de la réalisation d’une oeuvre. Selon la date où il a été réalisé, l’artiste peut l’associer à un projet spécifique.

Ludovic Boney's "Dessins" series is made on sand paper. The sand paper was used in the polishing of sculptural works and the artist colours this used paper (instead of throwing it away) with pencils in order to mark the paper as a witness to the making of a work. Depending on the date the drawing was made, the artist can associate it with a specific project.
Ludovic Boney was born in 1981 in Wendake, a Wendat-Huron village near the city of Québec where he grew up and studied. After completing his studies in sculpture in 2002, he worked with four other artists to cofound the artistic workshop Bloc 5, where he produced his first public art projects, both solo and collaborative. His public art integration projects include works in Quebec City for the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée de la civilisation, and City Hall. Ludovic regularly participates in renowned events such as the Bonavista Biennale, the Contemporary Native Art Biennale, the Manif d’art de Québec. The Wendat Museum presented his first museum solo exhibition entitled Mémoires ennoyées in 2022. Nominated for the long list of the Sobey Award in 2017, he is also the recipient of the Reveal grant offered by the Hnatyshyn Foundation. On the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation 2024, the Quebec Battlefields Commission unveiled Ludovic Boney's major public work entitled Des perles en mémoire. In the new plaza of Anishnawbe Health Toronto’s Indigenous Hub on Cherry Street, Boney sculpture In Equilibrium features thousands of fire-coloured hanging stems under a mirrored surface, and a view to the sky. A specialist in monumental sculptures, Ludovic Boney draws his conceptual inspiration from the traditional skills of the Wendat people, who for millennia have used materials directly from the land to create diverse and colorful handicrafts.
