frédéric cordier

Frédéric Cordier, born in 1985 in Montreal, is a Swiss-Canadian visual artist who lives and works between Lausanne and Montreal. He holds both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne), where he developed a visual language rooted in post-industrial imagery and functional architecture.

His work includes monumental linocuts, drawings on perforated metal, sculptural wallpapers, and paintings. Through the repetition of geometric patterns, his art creates analog visualizations of the digital age, oscillating between abstraction and representation. His pieces often evoke mechanical and urban landscapes infused with raw poetry.

Cordier received the Ernest Manganel Prize in 2008 and the Leenaards Cultural Fellowship in 2011. He has exhibited extensively in Canada and Europe, notably at Galerie Laroche/Joncas in Montreal, the Papier Art Fair, the Swiss Art Awards, and in collaboration with URDLA in Lyon.
