Douglas Breault (pronounced ‘bro’) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans photography, painting, sculpture, and video. His innovative approach blends these mediums to explore themes of personal memory, fatherhood, and the intangible aspects of life and death. Breault’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art in South Korea, Space Place Gallery in Russia, and several prominent art institutions across the U.S.
Breault’s creative process involves intentionally misaligning traditional artistic methods and connecting disparate materials to explore ideas of truth and change. His work often incorporates archival images and inherited objects, creating new meanings and revealing insights into absence and memory. This approach is deeply personal, stemming from his own experiences with loss and his ongoing quest to understand and depict the intangible.
In addition to his artistic practice, Breault is a professor of art at Babson College and Bridgewater State University, and he serves as the Exhibitions Director at Gallery 263 in Cambridge, MA, where he organizes and curates exhibitions. He has also been a guest critic at various institutions, a contributing writer for notable publications, and was awarded the Montague Travel Grant for studies in London and Paris.
Breault holds an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and a BA in Studio Art from Bridgewater State University. He divides his time between Boston, MA, and Providence, RI.
