Born in Saint-André-Avellin in the Outaouais region in 1950, Yves Louis-Seize lives and works in Montreal where he obtained a Master's degree in Visual Arts from the Université du

Québec à Montréal in 1989.  Active since the beginning of the 1980s, the artist divides his time between teaching and the studio.  He is currently teaching sculpture and ceramics at the Université du Québec à Montréal, the Centre de céramique Bonsecours (Montréal) and the cegep du Vieux-Montréal.

Louis-Seize ranks amongst the minimalist artists whose works of pure form required (indifferent) space around them.  He lays claim and tries to convey a thought as much as a feeling.  Louis-Seize's work seeks dialectics rather than aporia and he is more preoccupied with the interior scene, with contemplating the somewhat disorderly worlds that sometimes engulf us.
