Louis-Pierre Bougie was a Quebec printmaker and painter born in Trois-Rivières in 1946. He studied in France at Atelier Champfleury and trained with master printers Lacourière and Frélaut. His time in Europe deeply influenced his artistic approach, blending technical mastery with poetic sensitivity.

He played an active role in the development of contemporary printmaking in Quebec, opening the doors of his private Montreal studio to artists from around the world and fostering artistic exchange. He was also a founding member of Atelier Circulaire, a creation and exhibition center dedicated to print media.

His work, which lies at the intersection of abstraction and figuration, is included in numerous public and private collections in both Canada and France. He received several awards in recognition of his talent and his contribution to the growth and recognition of printmaking as a major art form.
