“With my brush, for a brief moment

of a painting, I celebrate the right to live,

to love, to speak, to make love...”

The essence of life emerges with each stroke of André Desjardins’ brush, every

texture and nuance, transforming the blank canvas into a declaration about

the mysteries of life, love and universality. His contemplations are realized

as hidden visages break free from the chaos of existence, giving a serene and

tranquil feeling as muted and subtle colors coax one into a dreamlike state of

visual experience of the mysteries that Desjardins has revealed.

Born in the small Canadian town of Hauterive, Quebec, Canada, on the north

shore of the Saint Lawrence River on March 2, 1964, Desjardins earned his

bachelor’s degree in art from the University of Quebec in Montreal. André’s

passion for life and the stories communicated in the faces of humanity

developed early and have continued to evolve. Today he devotes his time,

energy, and passion to translating emotion and the human experience into

works of timeless beauty and humanity as the founder of “Visual Emotionism”;

a style (simultaneously expressionist and humanist) that fuses the figurative

with the abstract and articulates the individual stories of humanity.

The sculpture and paintings of Desjardins reach out for the soul as they await

the emotional response of the viewer for conclusion. Like the conductor

of a great symphony, Desjardins uses his hands to add both emphasis and

nuance to his works, for each is a representation of humanity energized by

the emotions of the artist himself. The chaotic symmetry and fragility of the

human experience is expressed in the background of each painting through a

closely guarded proprietary technique.

As the experience of Desjardins’ artworks continue to progress, the melding

of the old and the new, the Da Vinci with the Jackson Pollock, becomes more

and more apparent. Desjardins’ choice to birth a new creation directly on the

canvas serves to deepen the emotions infused in each work as they reveal

themselves with eloquence and passion.

Gallery Walk - Frederick hart Exhibition

A Major Art Event

A very large and expansive group of sculpture from internationally acclaimed sculptor Frederick Hart (b.1943 – d.1999) will be on display at Brilliance In Color Gallery, 25 King Street in the Plaza area of downtown St. Augustine this Weekend, November 11^th and 12^th (Fri/Sat). This show is of National significance and importance, and over 80 distinct bronze and acrylic creations from Hart are on exhibit and available for acquisition. The exhibition is open to the public throughout the month of November.

Hart’s sculpture can be seen in public displays in Brookgreen Gardens, Newington-Cropsey Foundation Gallery, as well as the courtyard of the Lightner Museum here in the Ancient City. Harts’ widow Lindy will be in attendance throughout the weekend, along with Robert Chase, publisher and life-long friend of the artist. “This will be our major effort of 2011 to provide Florida residents with an opportunity of seeing, in great preponderance, the art of a major iconic American figure”, said Len Cutter (president, Cutter & Cutter Fine Art). Advanced viewers have already been deeply moved and overwhelmed by such pieces as “Daughters of Odessa”, trilogy bronze, which will be seen for the first time ever at Brilliance In Color. (The Prince of Wales has had for years at his Highgrove residence in the UK the same grouping.) The cultural aspects and impact of this exhibition are palpable and First Coast residents will be enthralled with what they see. Mr. Cutter also stated that, “St. Augustine has returned to its former place of glory among art locales in America with this exhibition, and the continuing growth of the downtown art district.”

Frederick Hart Exhibition - A Singular & Major Force

A Major Exhibition

Brilliance In Color - 25 King Street, St. Augustine, FL

"If you think about what Hart achieved in his best work, it’s not merely the artistic excellence that one admires; it is the singularity and courage of what he did." These words are spoken by Dana Gioia, past chairman of the National Endowment of the Arts, in a 2009 interview. The words are strikingly similar to the response Rick gave sixteen years earlier when asked in another interview to characterize the legacy he hoped to achieve. In his somewhat self-conscious but candid response, Rick reveals that he would like to be remembered best as "a singular and major force" in reconnecting art to society.

Rick had long questioned the value and purpose of art and the role of the artist in a culture in which art no longer expressed the ancient values of truth, beauty, and goodness. Rick believed that "...art has a moral responsibility, that it must pursue something higher than itself. Art must be a part of life. It must exist in the domain of the common man. It must be an enriching, ennobling, and vital partner in the public pursuit of civilization. It should be a majestic presence in everyday life just as it was in the past." Rick’s philosophy put him in opposition to much of contemporary art and propelled him on a divergent trajectory into history.

It was a lonely and uncharted path, but the values Rick championed served as a compass enabling him to step forward with other artists at one of history’s critical junctures. Voices from the arts community put Rick in the forefront of a re-orientation of art in today’s culture. These artists, writers, art critics, gallery owners, and musicians speak of a burgeoning movement in art that celebrates craftsmanship and purpose and seeks to connect with a public in need of affirmation only art can offer.

Tom Wolfe commented in a New York Times Magazine article (January, 2000) where he said that Rick "…will not have been the first major artist to have died ten minutes before history absolved him and proved him right." As the twentieth century gave way to the next millennium, Rick’s life was cut short, but his journey continues. His expanding legacy is a bridge to the future he passionately anticipated.
