From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jan Desrosiers, also known as Jan Normand Desrosiers, is a predominantly visual artist, presently based in Montréal, Québec. His gestural yet detailed painting usually explores the myopic textures of the big (prairie) landscape allowing the paint to assert itself and move freely permitting compositional elements to emerge. He has exhibited in Winnipeg, St-Boniface Manitoba, Toronto, Montréal, and has been published as a comic artist with Cumulus Press & Carbusters. Jan is also a founding member of The Church of Harvey Christ Redeemer, (as Reverend Norm), Dante's Flaming Uterus, Central Dispatch and has performed music, sound-art and physical feats of controlled spastic body/vocal performances in Toronto, Guelph, Winnipeg, the free103point9’s Wave Farm in Catskill, Husdon Valley Region, and Montréal. He can be found on ckut radio McGill and on Kunst Radio Austria. Jan has recently worked with artists Anna Friz and Tammy Forsythe. He is a graduate of the University of Manitoba's School of Art, having finished the last year visiting Concordia university in Montréal!
