Laurent Pilon studied architecture at the Université de Montréal (1969-1971) and the École d’architecture de Rennes in Brittany. He holds a BFA (1982) and an MFA (1984) in visual arts and a PhD in interdisciplinary studies and art practices (2010) from the Université du Québec à Montréal. His works have been shown in many exhibitions and can be found in private and public collections across Canada. Favouring polyester resin for its versatility, he creates strange, even disturbing sculptures; whether rough, porous or smooth, they feature hybrid animal, plant and mineral motifs that look like objects and creatures from another world.
