Claude Bolduc was born on January 1, 1955 in Alma, Quebec (Canada). He lived in Chicoutimi until 1997. It was January 4, 1987, date of birth of the primitive painter Arthur Villeneuve, his first inspirer that Claude Bolduc began to paint as a self-taught artist. The artist then stages his own autobiographical memories and political or social subjects, in a style that could be qualified as naive, if we did not already detect the dreamlike madness of his universe where references to a symbolism of its own.
