Duncan de Kergommeaux RCA is a first generation Canadian of Breton descent born in northern BC in 1927. His career as an artist has spanned almost six decades beginning in 1951 at Banff School of Fine Arts and in Victoria BC, under the Czech artist Jan Zach. In 1953 he moved to Ottawa where in 1955 he had his first solo exhibition. His last solo exhibition was at the Thielsen Galleries, London, Ontario in 2008. Summer studies in 1955 at Hans Hofmann School of Art in Provincetown still inform his approach to painting. In 1970 he moved to London, Ontario where he was a professor of Drawing and Painting and is now an Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Ontario. Additionally he taught summer sessions at Carleton University, the Banff Centre, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and the University of Victoria. Since 1953 he has had over 50 solo exhibitions and been included in 100+ group exhibitions including the Third and Sixth Biennials of Canadian Art at the National Gallery of Canada. During 1967-68 the National Gallery of Canada toured an exhibition of his work. Two major surveys with catalogues and critical essays were organized by the London Regional Gallery: “ An Art of Ordered Sensations”, curated by Mathew Teitlebaum, 1986 and “Process Structure Meaning” curated by Jose L. Bario- Garay, 1995. In 2010, a survey at the Ottawa Art Gallery curated by Andrea Fatona with a catalogue and a critical essay by Emily Falvay will examine his recent paintings in relation to the “Grid Paintings” of the 1970’s. There are study collections of his art at the Carleton University Art Gallery, the London Regional Art Gallery, the Ottawa Art Gallery and the McIntosh Gallery, University of Western Ontario. His work is also part of many private, public and corporate collections including the National Gallery of Canada. He is represented in Ottawa by Wallack Galleries and in London, Ontario by the Thielsen Gallery. His studio is in the Gatineau Hills north of Ottawa.
