Harold Garde is best known for his investigations of the human form and its relationships to color and the compositions that ensue. Contrary to the abstraction and stark minimalism often associated with Wade Wilson Art, Garde's work brings a more formal and figurative aesthetic to Wilson's vision and will certainly surprise and delight many of the gallery's followers.
Garde simultaneously infuses his imagery with a blend of the serious and the whimsical which both challenges and delights his audiences. Curator Suzette McAvoy in her essay on Garde titled, "Painting in the Fullness of Time," writes: "through both formal means and through imagery, Harold Garde creates layers of associations intended to prolong a viewer's experience of his art. While much of his work of the past two decades, in particular in paintings, retains a narrative quality, the subject is deliberately left unclear. Garde rejects the notion of immediate identification with a work, preferring the view to discover and explore their own understanding... Juxtaposing often harsh color and seemingly disparate imagery, Garde jolts the viewer into psychological participation with the artist."
