Born 1965 in Ste-Hyacinte (Canada), he lives and works in Montreal

The paintings of Dominique Gaucher are trompe-l’oeil pieces showing workers in museums. His large-scale canvases fill the exhibition space, which becomes the site of a permanent activity. The world of work is thus perceived as one huge performance.
