Bernard Banville was born in Haute-Rive, Quebec, in 1950, and emigrated to Western Massachusetts in 1962. After attending college for 3 years, he travelled to Oregon where he explored a brief career as a musician.

In 1975 he began exhibiting in juried shows at the Fitchburg Art Museum and twice won prizes for his drawings. He participated in the project 'In a Small Frame' hosted by the Provincial Museum, Hasselt, Belgium in 1983.

His first one person show was in 1985, at Kunoldstr 34, in Kassel Germany.

In 1988, A.P.E. Gallery, Northampton, Massachusetts, exhibited his series 'Soapstone Drawings/Retinal Reversals'.

In 2003, Gallery 17, Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, presented his work 'Between Two Worlds', a multimedia installation of assemblage, text, painting and sculpture.

His recent installation, 'Exod(e)us(t)', was shown in 2006 at Open Square, Holyoke, Massachusetts.

His work appears in numerous private collections, and is included in the J. Paul Getty Museum (Jean Brown Archives).
