User:Richard Purdy
A graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the Villa Schifanoia Badia Fiesolana in Florence, Italy, he received a doctorate from the University of Quebec at Montreal in 2001. Active as an artist since 1975, he has exhibited in numerous countries around the world, both in solo shows and as part of group exhibitions. In 1991, with François Hébert, he founded Les Industries Perdues (Lost Industries), which has produced a large number of public artworks, notably in Montreal.
Through his work, particularly in the field of installation, Richard Purdy enjoys challenging established codes of perception by creating fictional material, such as fake artifacts or fabricated cultural discoveries. In doing so, whether through individual works or installations, he confronts the viewer and prompts them to question what they truly value in art and culture, especially when faced with propositions that exist at the boundary between truth and falsehood. His works are part of numerous collections, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec [1]. Richard Purdy retired from the Department of Arts at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in 2012. He is currently represented by the Roger Bellemare Gallery and the Christian Lambert Gallery in Montreal.
