Pierre Bouchard, painterPierre Bouchard lives and works in Quebec City. He is initially known in the field of comics, animation, and illustration. He exhibited his first works in 2002 at the Rouje Gallery in Quebec City. He joined the Château Frontenac Gallery in 2014, the Iris Gallery in Baie-St-Paul in 2016, and the Beauchamp Gallery in 2018. His preferred themes revolve around nature. He created a collection of still lifes inspired by pop art, an inspiration he had upon returning from a trip to Haiti. Landscape is a central axis of his current artistic approach. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto. His paintings have been found in private collections for several years, and his projects have been featured in the capital's newspapers.

His prolific creation ranges from graphic novels to painting. His career took off in Quebec City, then in Charlevoix where he began a collection of paintings inspired by the landscape and mountains. Pierre Bouchard's pictorial work is the result of his presence in the Charlevoix region and an awareness of the history of landscape painting, of this long artistic tradition of this beautiful region of Quebec. The artist's experiences in the field influence his practice. Following the rhythm of the seasons and activities such as gathering, hiking, and fishing, the painter immerses himself in nature to then translate it onto canvas.

The brilliance of colors, the surreal tones of his paintings expose the fantasy of landscapes. The result is fantastic paintings where one feels the desire to immerse oneself and where the colors follow the seasons.
