Warren Leruth 2018
LeRuth's, the restaurant for which Warren Leruth became famous, opened in 1965 in an unprepossessing Victorian cottage in Gretna, just down the street from a public housing complex. Up to that point, the typical New Orleans restaurant was largely a tradition-bound thing, arguably to a fault. The innovative Leruth -- both chef and food scientist -- would change that by carefully, mindfully tinkering with traditional recipes. Importantly, however, he never lost sight of what made the region's native dishes so special, to begin with. Among his innovations: oyster-artichoke soup and sauteed soft-shell crab with lump crab meat. In writing Leruth's obituary in 2001, Times-Picayune restaurant critic Brett Anderson described Leruth as "a traditionalist at heart ... more interested in reinvigorating local cuisine than reinventing it." In so doing, Leruth would stake out a place at the leading edge of what would become a New Orleans culinary renaissance, one that held firm to the past but made room for local chefs to evolve and explore exciting new tastes. A portrait of Warren Leruth commissioned by Nola Media Group, producers of Nola.com / The Times-Picayune as part of its tricentennial project, 300 for 300: People who make New Orleans, New Orleans. | Read full story |

Artist + Jeremy Paten

“Stories are the creative conversion of life itself into a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful experience. They are the currency of human contact.” - Robert McKee

Stories have been shared in every culture throughout history as a means of entertainment and education, and for the transformation and passing on of traditions. Storytellers are revered figures throughout history because of the magical mystique of the tale they share through their voices and minds.

I too am a storyteller, although I share my tale in a different way. I use visual narrative as an avenue to express my feelings and relate to the world around me. My hope is for the work to span cultural barriers and be accessible to any audience.

Every person goes through an array of emotions in their daily lives: love, anger, happiness, joy, and sadness. These emotions tie us together as human beings. I strive for the viewer to deepen their gaze, connect with a part of the narrative, and experience an emotional journey.

Jeremy Paten is a New Orleans artist living and working in the Uptown neighborhood.
