Roger Brouard’s work is a synthesis, grounded in memory from building wooden lobster boats and houses on the coast of Maine and Nova Scotia. From the daily routine of working with wood, from steam bending oak for frames, to cedar for planking on boats and framing to finish on houses. Working in rural coastal communities, boarded on the North Atlantic, through the seasons with their unique ‘coastal culture’ laid the groundwork for his sculpture and works on paper.
In 2002 Brouard launched a tool bag company. On the long flights from NY to China, he started his ink and wite-out drawings, to record ideas for sculptures.
Brouard, (born 1946) has exhibited his work at the Drawing Center in NY, Brick Lane Gallery in London, University of Maine and other New England galleries. While living in NYC for 3 summers, Brouard helped the artist H. C. Westermann with the building of his house and studio in Brookfield, CT.
