Brent Roe received his MFA from York University in 1980. Roe’s paintings characteristically feature cartoon figures against an abstract background and have been described as both “prankish” and “playful.” Whimisical and multifaceted, Roe’s work engages with art history, particularly the legacy of 1950s Abstract Expressionism and the belief in painting’s capacity to deliver universal truths and deeper meaning. Frequently incorporating textual elements in his work, Roe’s practice explores the limits of painting and language as media of expression. Brent Roe is a Toronto-based artist and has been participating in solo and group exhibitions across Canada since 1979.
