Born in Quebec City in 1967
Lives and works in the West-Island of Montreal. Mario Perron has been involved in the Montreal artistic community for over two decades. The artist explores a variety of different media, such as painting, drawing, collage, and sculpture, producing an aesthetic narration of moods akin to a folkloric tradition. Executed in a naïve and unpredictable manner, the straightfor
ward vocabulary employed by M. Perron translates itself into a singular, but eclectic body of work. He borrows imagery and sentiment from a history of “isms”, but interprets them with his own evocative language. His battle with a need to constantly explore new ideas and means of expressing them, is demonstrated in the progression of short series he produces. Primarily self-taught, he has had several mentors in and out of schools. He is a life long student of art and is always observing, studying, and devouring art. His sketchbooks are always with him to be filled with what inspires him. He has participated in group shows at the Visual Arts centre and had a few solo shows. Gallery in St-Henri. For the last two years he has been producing considerable volume of new works at his own “Mario’s Fingers Studios”. His work can be found in private collections in Canada, USA, Spain, Italy & as scenery in the occasional independent film or photo montage.

I think artists are like scientists. We begin with a question, something we don’t know. The we go into our studio and experiment...
