Painting New York building by Heaton Rudyard | Painting Figurative Urban Oil Acrylic

Half French and half English, Rudyard spent his childhood hopping between France and England, studying both the practice and theory of art on both sides of the Channel. In addition to this dual socio-cultural background, he spent a year in the capital of Japan, where between 1993 and 1994, the young artist learned the local techniques of traditional painting from the Tamagawa University. Since the 2000s, Rudyard has often placed his skills as a decorator at the service of the animated film industry. Living in Paris since 1999, Rudyard is “interested in the way in which we represent things, and how this influences the manner in which we perceive the world”.
