Bauçan

Born in Montreal, Canada, Bauçan is a poet of images, music, and words. Self-taught, he left college to dedicate himself to his art. In his twenties, he and Luc Courchesne founded the art regroupement Le Cénacle de l'Étendard, which published poetry books. He authored and published two books, as well as participated in many collective works with other published poets. Between readings of poetry, he recorded an album under an independent label and produced a short film, "Le chat a fait de moi un oiseau" ,with actor Éric Francoeur and cameraman Jean Cotonnec.

Eager for adventure, Bauçan explored the Baffin Island and hitch hiked across Canada. At 24 years old, during his first trip to Europe, his paintings were exhibited at an art gallery in Pont-Aven, Brittany (the town where Gauguin lived). His paintings were exhibited at the Art Expo in New York, Paris, Brussels, Bordeaux, Nantes, Chicago, Texas, Toronto, Calgary, Dinard (France), Nice, Brest, Toulouse, Cologne (Germany), Kyoto (Japan), and Montreal.
