Éric Simon

Born in Montreal in 1961, Éric Simon has been creating objects, images and texts for over forty years. On his own and with friends, he has opened four ephemeral galleries in Montreal (Galerie Comme des stars, Galerie Silk Master/Maître de soi, Galerie Pas de tataouinage and Galerie Aux plus graves ennuis). In each case, the gallery was not expected to survive his work’s exhibition. He has also exhibited in several solo shows. His work has been shown in group exhibitions in Quebec and abroad. He has published fiction and poetry, and is the author of a graphic novel and a radiophonic show. He has collaborated on numerous performances, public readings and other creative projects. Éric Simon taught at John Abbott College's Fine Arts Department for 8 years and at Concordia University's Painting and Drawing Program for 14 years, where he also headed the Fine Arts Department. He lives and works in Hudson, Quebec. [Source: VOX, 2025]
