Jean Gaudreau is a Canadian artist painter, engraver, born on May 27, 1964, in Quebec City.
He is considered one of the most influent contemporary painters in the province's capital (Capitale-Nationale).
In 2008, he was immortalized as one of the most notorious figures of Quebec's contemporary art by Robert Lepage during the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the foundation of Quebec City.
In his animated film Le Moulin à images, Robert Lepage projected images of artworks by Jean Gaudreau next to works from Jean-Paul Lemieux, Martin Bureau, Jean-Paul Riopelle et Alfred Pellan, among others, on grain silos located in Anse au Foulon, in Quebec City's old port.
