Paul Rudall
Paul Rudall was one of Britain’s most respected post war artists; an obsessive painter he continued to work every day of his 32 years “retirement”.
Reserved and yet opinionated he was reluctant to explain, or even title his work. He once confided that it is produced by instinct deliberately devoid of subject matter – I need it to express feeling by purely visual means.
He often painted on board and paper in oils and also meticulous pen and ink . Influenced by Picasso and Braque his pictures are a mixture of figurative and non figurative images including highly abstracted forms and still lives always with a strong sense of design.
