Luc Bergeron received a BFA from Concordia University in 1984. In 1990, he took a fresco course at Atelier Stéphane Mocanu in Paris. His work falls between the pictorial and sculptural realms, questioning the formal elements of frames, volume, emptiness and accumulation. In some ways, Bergeron’s sculptures represent a continuation of his two-dimensional work. In 2010, for example, he presented Table des matières, an exhibition in which he returned to formal themes through mediums such as drawing and plaster forms, which transposed his work into three dimensions. In addition to the visual arts, Bergeron is drawn to theatre scenography, having created sets for Nathalie Sarraute’s play Pour un oui pour un non, performed by Les Têtes Heureuses in 1992, and for Shakespeare’s Macbeth the following year.
