About Nigel Sade
“Nigel Sade was born on a bright and sunny day nearly to
some, and exactly to others, 40 years after D-day. Some
consider this meaningful whilst the rest laugh at those
people, but I digress. He was raised in hell ... or rather Ohio
but I don’t want to split hairs. In a smallish county called
Portage. As a child he could be found drawing on any surface
he could make a mark on, and with all the moving security
deposits were more like donations. In School this A.D.H.D.
Toth wannabe (but with hands) was considered a bit strange
by his peers, ... a malady that never left him as it turned out.
As a teenager he was a rebellious youth, A Technicolored
street Freak, delving into every aspect of art, from Drawing to
painting to Music to Religion to Science to Philosophy in
general. Then there were the dark times ... the marriage!
When his soul was crushed by evil and doubt. He Dreamt of
being an artist but that was not a real job ... how could you
feed a family with that pipe dream? However, In just 6 and a
half long agonizing years it was over. On the Up side His
torment was not without reward; He now has 2 lovely Spawn
with which to explore life. Shortly after his divorce Nigel
graduated college with a degree in Philosophy. So Armed with
his freedom, his offspring, and an amazing ability to argue
points that even he may not believe, he set out on the high
seas of art! This was a joyous thing!
There was much weirdness, art, travel, debauchery and Success. Stories were
made and told, and now he Currently travel the amber waves
of grain, questioning whatever reality he is presented with,
chewing that up and spitting it out in the form of art. Then
Nigel shows that art to the hapless masses in hopes that it
moves them as much at it moved him to create it. Nigel's art
in form is Symbolism (Much like Surrealism), represented in
either a realism or Abstracts, and in function it explores basic
ideas we hold, mostly it does so by exploring questions of
Reality, Love, Thought and plain old strangeness. Nigel’s
belief is that art should spur conversation, not just match
ones curtains. Now you may ask, "What does all this have to
do with piracy?" Well, he was always a grungy, bandana
wearin’ freak. His family was and is highly Piratical What with
their last name Rogers all the family businesses are Jolly
Roger this and Jolly Roger that ... Not to mention their
propensity for Rum. So with his families' nautical background
and the new Pirate craze, the public proclaimed him a pirate,
and a pirate he was. Yet, having always loved pirates, one
can say Nigel got peanut butter in his chocolate!”
