Born June 30, 1981 in Wendake, a Huron village near Québec City, Ludovic Boney was raised and educated in the Provincial capital.
After completing his studies in Sculpture in 2002 at the Maison des métiers d’art de Québec, he cofounded an artistic workshop and production cooperative (Bloc 5), where he produced his first public art projects, both in his own name and in cooperation with numerous other artists (printers, pointers, photographers, architects and sculptors). He also teaches Sculpture at the Maison des métiers d’art de Québec in Québec City.
Based in Lévis, Ludovic Boney works on large-scale public art projects. His portfolio includes twenty or so public art works that can be viewed at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, the Amphithéâtre de Trois-Rivières and the Percé Geopark, among other locations. He regularly presents his work in art galleries and artist centres.
He was among the Sobey Art Award long-listed artists in 2017, and has received a grant from the Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec, along with the REVEAL Indigenous Art Award from the Hnatyshyn foundation.
Ludovic Boney is currently represented by Galerie Michel Guimont in Québec City.

Artwork description
Located in the gardens of the Robert and Bélanger family farmhouse, Nouvelle séquence is composed of caissons that appear to emerge from the ground, draw a rise and a bend and gradually spread out in space in volume and color, before finally returning to the earth. With this sculptural gesture, Ludovic Boney evokes both the movement and permanence of the site’s history. The artist translates the change in vocation of Maison Robert-Bélanger towards a cultural and educational vocation, and the unchanging agricultural nature of the heritage site. Through the organization of its rhythmic forms, the work recalls the past and the future.
Playful and mysterious, Nouvelle séquence invites us to make links between the site’s history and its contemporary design, thus working on the perspectives of our imagination.
