Brodie Pugh is an American artist working in oil painting, works on paper, and ceramics.​ His formal artistic education includes the Pratt Institute, Parsons, The New School for Design, and Columbia University in the City of New York.​​  Pugh's current work concentrates on the natural world and the complex relationships human life has to its host.  He is primarily interested in the human relationship as a species with water, other animals, and the plant life that constitute our Earth.  Rectilinear forms that frame and isolate depictions of nature and wildlife sample from his sense of order through containment, division, comparison, and compartmentalization.  Pugh insists that his practice learns from subjects of the Romanticist movement in Europe in the nineteenth century and landscape paintings of the Barbizon school in France.  His belief in the primacy of the natural world continues to find itself in conflict with the reality of human growth and prosperity.​  The contemporary world is represented as one where trees and humans conflict and a psychology of isolation dominates.
