Louis Bourgeois enters the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon, studying with Jean-Louis Loubet and Adolphe Castex-Desgrange. He moved to Paris, where he studied with Léon Gérôme, and began his career under the name "L. Borgex" as a draftsman and "L. Bourgeois-Borgex" as a painter. His first exhibition was at the Salon de Lyon in 1895. He exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1898.
In the early 1890s, Borgex was close to Aristide Bruant and the Montmartre artistic community. He also ventured into caricature, contributing toRabelaisorL'Éclaireand producing art lithographs for L'estampe moderne ("Les Sardinières").
Between 1907 and 1914, Borgex produced numerous drawings: "petits métiers de rue" for various chocolate brands (Chocolat Louit, Chocolat du planteur) and a number of advertisements featuring chromosses signed by him. He also produced 38 drawings of composers. In 1913, he published a biography of the musician Vincent d'Indy, and contributed to the Collection des cent.
After the First World War, the painter became rare. He wrote a few critical works and died in 1959.
