Bernard Gamoy

Bernard Gamoy is a part-time lecturer in the Department of Painting and Drawing at Concordia University. Born into a working-class family in Paris, he holds a B.F.A. (1979) and M.F.A. (1982) from Concordia. His artistic practice focuses on self-portraiture and explores the artist's societal role through low-key color palettes and layered techniques. Gamoy’s work has been exhibited internationally across Paris, Mexico, Boston, Toronto, and Montreal.

Research emphasizes experimental painting processes, human touch in creation, and the interplay between space and intimacy. His artistic philosophy prioritizes exploration, accidents, and discovery in visual art.
