Michael Drolet

Michael Drolet was born in Montreal and currently lives and works out of Whitby, Ontario. Michael is an emerging artist who completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Ottawa in 2014, where he specialized in sculpture. Upon graduation Michael received the Suzanne Rivard-Le Moyne Award, Second Prize, which is awarded to a graduating student who has exhibited quality work at the year-end exhibit. Michael has most recently shown at Quest Art School and Gallery in the TD National Art Prize and has shown work at The Living Arts Centre, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, and the Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brantford.



Michael's current work maintains influences of geometrical shapes, methods of construction and spatial relationships that all cohesively work to produce comments on abstraction. To explore new avenues of expression as well as techniques, ideas are conceptually sourced from architecture, philosophy, and science. Michael's artworks regularly synthesize through a process of conceptual research and thematic ideas being pursued in the experimentation of popular mediums.
