After deciding to pursue a career as a cabinetmaker at the age of fourteen, he set up his own business in Obourg (Mons) in 2016. However, it was his discovery of woodturning that would fundamentally transform his approach to his craft.  <\/p>\n<p>By interweaving various techniques, e.g. carving, woodturning, and sculpture, Mathieu creates pieces of great originality. <\/p>\n<p>His first exhibition at the St&#8217;art Gallery (2025) came about following a meeting with artist Alfredo Longo.<\/p>\n<p>Mathieu\u2019s sculptures are the result of a dialogue between various materials. Wood has retained its prominent role, but the addition of color and the incorporation of objects create a subtle contrast, a contemporary dimension that intrigues viewers. He gives recycled materials, including pins, toys, vinyl, jewelry, and metal, a new lease on life within his work.  <\/p>\n<p>Mathieu&#8217;s practice explores the tension between natural matter and human creation, between heritage and innovation. A universe where the forgotten and the new meet. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-cta__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    \n<a href='http:\/\/45.152.250.15\/~answertoawall\/contact\/' class=\"growl-component-button growl-component-button--solid growl-component-cta__button\" role=\"button\" >\n            Contact\n    <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"growl-component-artist-products\">\n\t\n<div class=\"growl-component-container\" >\n    \t\t\t\n<div class=\"growl-component-heading\">\n\t<h1 class=\"growl-component-heading__title h5\">\n\t\tWork\n\t<\/h1>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-artist-products__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-artist-products__items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"growl-component-cta growl-component-cta--right growl-component-cta--over-container growl-component-cta--bg growl-component-cta--has-image \">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"growl-component-cta__slider\">\n\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-cta__items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-cta__item\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20240905-ISVA-248-21-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\n\t\t\n<div class=\"growl-component-container\" >\n    \t\t\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"growl-component-heading\">\n\t<div class=\"growl-component-heading__title h5\">\n\t\tVisit the gallery\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Meet the artists behind the works and let yourself be inspired.<br \/>\nVisit us during our opening hours or make an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"growl-component-cta__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    \n<a href='http:\/\/45.152.250.15\/~answertoawall\/contact' class=\"growl-component-button growl-component-button--solid\" role=\"button\" >\n            Make an appointment\n    <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8582,"template":"","class_list":["post-8671","artists","type-artists","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/8671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artists"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.answertoawall.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
