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
Parallax is the effect of a change in viewing angle. As a result, different interpretations of the work emerge depending on the viewers’ position. A simple shift in position is enough to reveal openings. Viewed from above, through the windows of adjacent buildings, the work suddenly brings to mind rooms that could be arranged in various ways. Somewhere between sculpture and street furniture, it also invites people to sit or move among the modules, turning this spot into a resting place and a hub for interaction. Parallaxe encourages observation, inquiry, and the redefinition of perspectives.
