Roland Brener RCA (February 22, 1942 – March 22, 2006) was a South African-born Canadian artist.
[7] He completed his academic training in 1965, and in 1967, Brener was one of the founders of the Stockwell Depot, a studio and exhibition space occupying part of a disused brewery in south London.
[10] He retired from teaching in 1997 and continued to live and work in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada until his death in 2006.
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.
