Born in 1990 in Bergerac, Mathie Laborie lives and works in Aubervilliers. In 2013, she obtained her DNAP at the Ecole nationale supérieure d'arts des Pyrénées, then joined the Beaux-arts de Paris from which she graduates in 2017. After a series of collective exhibitions in France, Mexico and Japan, she set up a collective in 2019 under the name RPZ alongside the artist Camille Sauer. Her most recent work was seen in Rodez for the exhibition "L'appui du sol" at Galerie Sainte-Catherine.
Mathie Laborie's practice questions the intrinsic life of forms. Photography, more frequently drawing and sculpture, concretizes her physical need to capture matter in order to better understand it. She attempts to identify the issues at stake when faced with deliberately simple forms that are always taken up by the artist for examination. A close relationship with Nature is expressed in her work, the richness of the material in its raw state accompanies each of her decisions and each of her gestures. Recently, her use of materials recurrent in the history of art, such as plaster or clay, testifies to her deep attachment to the study of origins.
