Roland Brener (1942 – 2006) was a South African-born Canadian artist.During his lif Roland Breneretime, South African-born Canadian artist Roland Brener was one of the most fearless, innovative sculptors and influential educators in Canada. He worked as an artist for 40 years, and produced an enduring body of work that is in major collections across Canada, including the National Gallery of Canada, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Brener's early practice grew from the formalist innovations of his contemporaries at Saint Martin's. During the 1980s his work developed a more playful individuality as he began to incorporate consumer items, most often toys, and experiment with kinetic sculpture driven by electronic motors or computers. In his later work he began to use the computer as a design tool to produce fantastical distortions of everyday images and objects which were then fabricated in wood or synthetic materials.
