Roch Theriault original abstract painting on stretched canvas with both hands in paint signed Roch Moises Theriault from 2007

He would die 4 years after achieving this piece. Roch was very private and didnt give any interviews nor he wrote to many people other his family. He did make less then 70 handtracings and few handprints but on canvas and as a painting he only did two. One with both hands and feet and this one published in many magazines and articles only with his hands.

The front is signed Roch. The back is dated from 2007 and signed in full Roch ''Moises'' Theriault. Its also titled '' Empreintes''. It is a fabulous one-of-kind published painting by one of the top Canadian criminals and deceased cult leader Roch Theriault.

Roch"Moïse"Thériault(May 16, 1947 – February 26, 2011) was the leader of a small religious group/cult based near Burnt River Ontario, Canada, who between 1977 and 1989 had as many as 12 adults and 22 children as followers. He had 26 children when he died, fathering the other 4 during visits in prison from some of his "wives". He used all of the nine women as concubines and may have fathered most of the children in the group.

He was arrested for assault in 1989, and convicted of murder in 1993. At the time of his death in 2011 he was continuing to serve out a life sentence, having been denied parole in 2002. Along with Clifford Olson and Paul Bernardo, Thériault was considered one of Canada's most notorious criminals. He is certainly the most infamous Canadian Cult leader.
