GAUGUIN is the story of Paul Gauguin, a successful stockbroker turned artist in Paris in the late 1800's. His life was as colorful and controversial as his art.
He sacrificed everything: family, friends, money so that he could "dare to dream." Of sailing the seas in search of Paradise. Of creating art the world had never seen before. Of feeling the ecstasy of love, passion and beauty.
Despite controversy, he is regarded as one the world's great artists and also a great archetype, a cultural hero, whose story inspires us to "capture the light in our soul and make the canvas come alive!" ("The Palette of My Life" - his last song).
