Devon DeJardin is a self-taught American artist based in Los Angeles.[16] He is famous for his "Guardian" paintings—geometric, stone-like figures that represent spiritual protectors and guides.
The Guardians act as "secular totems." Drawing from his background in theology, DeJardin creates these figures to represent forces that protect us from anxiety and help us navigate the struggles of modern life.
His style is a fusion of Geometric Abstraction and Cubism, often rendered with a stone-like, architectural texture. His work references art history titans like Picasso and Nevelson but with a distinct, spiritual narrative.
No. DeJardin studied World Religions and Theology at Azusa Pacific University. He began painting after a "spiritual" phone call from a stranger encouraged him to pursue art, a backstory that has become part of his lore.
His work is in the permanent collections of the Hirshhorn Museum (Washington D.C.) and Space K Museum (Seoul).
Key exhibitions include Of Dust and Breath (Ross + Kramer, NY, 2025), Echoes of the Past (Albertz Benda, NY, 2024), and Pareidolia (Carl Kostyál, Stockholm, 2024).
