RON RUDGE
Born in Toronto in 1939; he brought his family to Victoria in 1980; where they have remained for the past 30 years. Introduced to painting as a child, he learned his craft in the time honoured manner by studying and copying from the masters.
Universality, timelessness, and the search for fundamental human truths powers his work. Stepping beyond the limitations imposed by a single instantaneous image, he might include day and night, or past and future in the same painting, or just take a whimsical adventure in a strange new world. Strongly influenced by the surrealists, Dali, Magritte, Ernst, and many others. He works to create meaningful new images that reach across time and space to show something that hopefully will remain relevant and interesting to present and future generations.
If you are seeking works that bring you in; making your imagination start to run overtime into a world of intrigue and mystery - then you have found the artist to do so! Enjoy the talent Ron has brought to our gallery; with his experience and knowledge; you too will find pieces that will make a welcomed addition to any space or void you are seeking to fill.
