Alcadio Laguer is the founder of Ultimate Rush Concepts, a site that shows his artistic talent and his love for painting and for the fine arts.
The picture above is from his collection of paintings called, Mother and Child, where he captures the essence of a child getting nourishment from its parent.
Alcadio says that the painting shows the child “having that special connection with mother earth, being in her womb for 9 months.”
Alcadio, who is a long time friend and high school classmate of the founder of Unheard Voices Networks Keith Covin, talks about how he first got started in the art world.
It was in third grade at Garfield School in Long Branch, N.J. Alcadio and I went on a school trip with Ms. Collins to The Daily Record, a local newspaper, on Broadway between Johns Bargain store & JJ Newberry.
When we returned, Ms. Collins asked us to draw what we saw. “They took my picture & hung it in the front office. They couldn’t believe the 3-D effect,” said Laguer.
Alcadio was surprised because he was only doing what he loved to do and he said that he “didn’t see what the big deal was about.”
When teachers and friends actually came up to him and gave him kudos, that’s when he knew something good can come out of this.
Alcadio is a self taught fine artist and a classic auto restorer, hoping to get a foot hold in the Charlotte area.
He attended Brookdale Community College where he took several courses in their art department.
He has served in the US Army, 2nd 9th Infantry Division Ft. Stewart, GA.
While supporting The Rangers in Panama, he developed an appreciation for nature’s robust Rain Forest colors.
You can say his style is a fascination with bright colors, shadows, fine details, and absorbing the essence of all what he sees.
Alcadio says that each project “reveals it’s unique character.” Alcadio works mostly in mixed media: air brush, pastels, oil pastels, acrylics and enamel.
His other ambition is restoring classic muscle cars; where he is currently working on a ground up 1956 Chevy Bel-Air Custom-rod.
He is married to Denise Taylor Laguer, and is the father of four.
Alcadio Laguer’s latest project has brought tears to many people eyes.
His natural born ability to capture a picture and to bring it to life is amazing.
This is evident in the portrait that he created for “Renee Covin’s Day” to be placed in the Neptune, NJ Public Library. At the ceremony you heard cries of “Oh My God”, “This is beautiful”.
I knew then that Alcadio had captured the essence of Renee’s spirit and made Renee’ Covin’s Day a reality for the Covin family as seen in the video.
When Alcadio was first asked about doing a portrait for Renee’ Covin’s Day he did not hesitate at all to say yes.
I knew that Alcadio was a fantastic artist from grade school and I was so happy that he had the time to take on this project.
I was so excited when he said yes, because I knew that if anyone could capture the realness and essence of my wife I knew that he could.
The Covin and Logan families appreciate the love and thank you for all the hard work that you have put into this project to make Renee’ Covin’s Day a reality.
