专家说明

‘Mathieu is a “painter of battles”, quite literally, because a number of his works refer directly to historical battles, but also because, above all else, he is an artist who considers his paintings as an authentic scene of battle. Each time he paints, a genuine confrontation occurs between himself and his canvas, where rituals of martial art, dance and trance all come together’ (B. Marcadé, ‘Pretentious? Moi?’ in Tate Etc., no. 18, January 2010).
