Louis de Niverville, a self-taught painter, was born in England and worked from 1957 to 1963 as a graphic designer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto alongside Dennis Burton and Graham Coughtry. He considers the turning point in his work to be in 1966-67 when he painted a mural for Expo Theatre in Montréal. After that he developed a formidable technique, particularly with collage, to express an astonishing, visionary world. His work is characterized by fresh and provocative thought. He has had solo exhibitions in many major Canadian cities and New York. His work is in numerous private and corporate collections as well as museums in Canada and the United States. Louis de Niverville currently resides in West Vancouver.
