Martin Brouillette is a French-Canadian artist based in New York and New Jersey. Known for his dynamic and expressive approach to abstraction, his work explores the interplay between drawing, painting, and digital media, pushing the boundaries of contemporary visual language.
Originally from Montreal, Brouillette studied at the Université du Québec à Montréal. His artistic journey began with exhibitions in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver before leading him to the UK, where he spent twelve years living in London. There, he deepened his exploration of form, material, and movement, refining a distinctive style that merges traditional and digital techniques.
Beyond his artistic practice, Brouillette has been involved in humanitarian work, using art as a tool for healing and self-expression. His dedication to social causes led him to work with programs supporting orphaned and at-risk children in South Africa, India, Myanmar, and Haiti. His experience in this field inspired him to develop an art curriculum designed to help children express themselves through creative play. After moving to London, he collaborated with Worldwide Orphans (WWO) to establish this program within their global initiatives. This engagement profoundly influenced his artistic practice, reintroducing a sense of playfulness and spontaneity into his paintings.
Now settled in New York, with a studio in Jersey City, Brouillette continues to evolve his practice, creating vibrant, layered compositions that challenge perception and evoke emotional resonance. His work has been exhibited internationally and is included in esteemed public and private collections.
