The Gaston Lacombe Collection

About the Artist

Gaston Lacombe (Canadian/American) is a photographer, painter and graphic artist based in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He is known for the explosive colors of his works, often created in mixed media techniques. His art combines realist photography with abstract constructs inspired by organic shapes and designs found in nature. One of his recurring themes has been the examination of the queer experience, whether by representing male-on-male desire, words of power, or the subversion of religious iconography.


His work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, the Museo de Arte Tigre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Latvian National Museum of Decorative Arts, the Provincetown Art Museum, and many other venues on six continents. He has been the recipient of a rare Antarctic artist-residency grant from the government of Argentina, and has worked for clients such as National Geographic, The Smithsonian Institution, National Parks, the World Wildlife Fund and many others.


He holds a degree in Professional Photography from Boston University, as well as a B.A. and an M.A. in History from the University of Ottawa (Canada). Among his wide variety of experiences working and living all over the planet, one of Lacombe’s proudest achievements has been being one of the founders and the first chairperson of the Latvian National LGBT organization “Mozaika.”


In 2018 he established Studio Lacombe in Provincetown from where he now centers his artistic practice.
