Renowned Artist Picard Gets Million Dollar Offer on Dark & Wounded PaintingBy: Picard Studios The paintings have toured across North America and events were staged at abandoned asylums, hospitals and prisons, places the artist states are the perfect exhibition venues as they have housed the darkness that we fear the most. The exhibitions had rave reviews among attendees and many said that the visceral effect of these unique events literally took them through real life changing vivication. The tour culminated with a show in 2015 at the historical Alcatraz prison in San Francisco where Picard and his D&W crew tied together all the wounds and darkness of humanity in one of the darkest places on the planet. The results for all those who attended were nothing short of phenomenal. Picard, who had been filming these events, then put together a short documentary of the aforementioned tour, entering it into film festivals across the United States and Canada, where it began not only being selected by the festivals but started winning top awards at nearly every festival it was entered into. Not a big surprise as Picard, as I mentioned, is an artist with a vision. His dedication and constant extremism are his very method of daily work. His single-mindedness means he sacrifices everything, and I do mean everything, to his ideas. Picard's amazing multiplicity of styles and his ability to create works of art that always live in the present, no matter how much time has passed make him an artist on quite a different level to most of his peers. He makes us recognize our own contemporary environment and makes us recognize ourselves within that environment. His awareness is a testament to his genius and his work pays tribute to not only his personal spirit but the spirit of humanity itself. Everything, in order to achieve true existence, must pierce the very centre of the target aimed for and anything that misses that centre simply does not exist. Picard's aim is true and accurate. He is ascending the obstacles that are impeding human progress and those that deny this vision and greatness are simply doing so because they themselves are dis-acknowledging their own truth and place in the world. Picard's work increases our awareness of our own potentiality. We respond to his art and when we leave it we carry away in our consciousness something which we didn't have before. These astute observations I am not alone in. Picard's career and art have been sought after for decades by collectors, buyers and galleries. Many are aware of the value of his work along with the price. Certain collectors are fully aware of his Dark and Wounded series and where it fits into the long-term historical place in art history. These particular Picard pieces have fetched tens of thousands of dollars so it was really no surprise when Picard was recently offered $500,000 US for his "Apparitions" https://vimeo.com/ Media Contact Picard Studios Kevin Haluk khaluk@picardstudios.ca 323-987-4442 Photos: https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ End
