Andre Roussel was an interesting creative based out of~ both~ Hull and Montreal, PQ. I remember living in Hull for a winter.. hadd just returned to Carleton on a part- time basis.. two english courses, concurrently. A first year and a second year.. the second year prof. said that if we didn’t happen to have prerequisites for the class, we would fail. I begged to differ and we battled head to head for the whole year. I think I passed. I know I passed my first year class with Prof. Cooper. With flying colours.
Anyhow.. Andre passed away due to COVID19. Sad but true. He was within the demographic of fear being a bit more advanced in his years. His work is diverse and he’s worked with some great models. His style is unique.. quirky but unique. Something that a lot of shooters are striving for.. striving but flailing.
I was saddened to learn of his passing a few years ago and I hope this little entry brings more attention to him and his work/ life.
