Earl Hebert is known for Painting. Earl Hébert grew up immersed in Cajun country in the little town of Ossun, Louisiana. He began painting in the late’70s and early’80s, and readily admits he knew nothing of it but thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. “I particularly enjoy the beginning of the painting, ” Mr. Hébert says, when the canvas is blank, and you can tell any story you want, but then you’re married to that image for the next week or two, while you’re finishing the painting. An early mentor suggested using eight to ten standard earthy colors to begin. Hébert quickly realized this gave his work a muddy look. Another signature of his painting is the layering effect produced by the acrylic paints. Earl’s work is full of the colorful world of the Cajuns. His paintings combine images of the past, present, and future and weave a timeless story of a simpler era. They tell of a time when the warmth of good friends and family, a sack of crawfish, and a few cold drinks were all that was needed to make a great day perfect. Zydeco Shoes: A Sensory Tour.

Earl Hebert Biography and Artist Statement: Widely recognized artist Earl Hebert began as the owner of a small neighborhood grocery, moved on to the restaurant business in the 70’s with popular Beef & Ale Steak House and then the highly successful Judge Roy Beans Saloon, which he helped design along with partner Charlie Goodson, but it in the mid 80’s that he seriously began his art career. By 1989 he was in New Orleans exhibiting his work at Jackson Square. After being questioned several times about hoe to frame them, he began to make his own frames out of wood and painted vibrant colorful designs on them which gave a whole new dimension to his already crazy and often humorous Cajun folklore scenes. He would soon open Mr. Ear’s Gallery on Royal Street with a 30 second commute time from his apartment across the street. As his self-taught artistic style evolved, he painted not only the Cajun jole de vive but took commissions for personal family subjects and events. He painted Cajun Blues musicians, his favorite being Clifton Chenier. In 2004 Zydeco Shoes A Sensory Tour of Cajun Culture was published combining two important facets of Cajun life, cooking, and music. He traveled to France where he was able to view pieces by some artists he most admired. Van Gogh was a definite influence as well as Monet. Seeing these paintings up close inspired and propelled him to produce even more art. A self-imposed goal of 50 paintings a year was sometimes achieved, sometimes not; it did allow him to leave behind a prolific visual history of the unique Louisiana Cajun culture. Patrons of his work come from far and wide; from Europe and South America, from California to New York and Canada and points in between. January of 2005 he passed away. He gave so much joy to this world not only with his paintings but his entertaining stories (some hard to believe but actually true), his amazing creativity and his wonderful sense of humor. If you met him, you’ll never forget him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Lester Hebert and one brother, Bobby Hebert. A native of Leesville, LA and a lifelong resident of Lafayette and New Orleans, Mr. Hebert was a veteran of military service, having served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam Era. Hebert was an internationally known artist and entrepreneur. He started his business career in the grocery store business with two successful stores in the Lafayette area in the 1960’s. Hebert then turned his attention to the restaurant industry, creating the cutting edge and highly successful concept Beef & Ale Restaurant in the early 1970’s. In 1972, he conceived and founded another highly successful concept, Judge Roy Beans Saloon, Lafayette’s first singles bar and grill, which is still talked about some thirty five years later. In the early 1980’s, Mr. Hebert began to concentrate on his first love-his art. He began his career in art at Jackson Square in New Orleans. His unique depiction of Cajun & Creole life was an instant hit and Earl’s Joie de Vive captured the hearts and minds of all the artists as well as the international visitors.
