Miquel Mont was born in Barcelona in 1963 and starts to explore the pictorial world since the eighties. At the end of this decade, he moves to Paris, where he currently lives and works. Between then and the nineties his paintings are so dense that end up turning into three-dimensional objects. This is how he focuses his work on exploring the treatment of painting from a formal point of view, especially with regard to space and its three-dimensionality.

It is at the end of the 90s that Mont becomes more interested in the intellectual field, something that makes him develop projects as a curator and write texts of great critical depth. Even so, he continues to give continuity to the painting, but focusing much more on reflection about color. In addition, we also find works that go beyond painting, such as wall paintings or sculptures.

In his works, industrial materials are presented bare, evidencing their roughness and the economy of means that characterizes the artist’s pieces. Methacrylate or wood become tools that break the presentation frames to expand and dialogue with the space where they are presented.

From 2000 he combines his work with teaching, currently being a professor at École Supérieure d’Art et de Design TALM-Tours and of École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville.

He has exhibited around Spain in places such as the Centre d’Art la Panera; or in France, at Aline Vidal Gallery or FRAC Alsace; but in Austria too. Along the same lines we find his work in different collections, like Col·lecció ”la Caixa”, Museo de Bellas Artes de Álava or Mumok. In 2015, the Suñol Foundation dedicated the exhibition ‘Nunca es suficiente’ to him.
