Guest Juror | Adam Brouillette

Adam Brouillette, of Blockfort Gallery, is a Columbus based artist, arts organizer, and gallery owner. Featured widely in galleries, museums, publications and exhibitions; Brouillette’s paintings are immediately identifiable through his use of flat and bold graphic lines and colors that invoke a pop art sensibility. His unique characters form a narrative based in nature and rely heavily on cultural influences to tell their story. Brouillette has developed his style over the last twenty years, now basing his studio practice out of Blockfort Gallery, which he co-owns with his wife.

Brouillette is a community organizer, putting together events and physical spaces designed to support artists. This led him to delve deeper into the commercial art and design world, where he founded littleINDUSTRIES; a small company that focuses on art consulting, strategy, production and installation. Brouillette is an integral part of the Columbus art scene, and one of the many supporters moving art forward.
