About the Item

View from a Verandah, acrylic on canvas, 30cm x 23cm, 2021 Even in his most realistic images, there is a beautiful exaggeration in the paintings of Peter Rodulfo. It may be an overly flamboyant palette or a carefully chosen viewpoint but nothing is everyday run-of-the-mill yet at the same time it may depict exactly that. Ranging from this carefully chosen reality to an overtly magical realism style, Rodulfo’s daily practice of painting oil or acrylic on canvas celebrates place and his place in it. Currently living and working in the seaside town of Great Yarmouth in the UK, Rodulfo studied at the Norwich School of Art & Design in the late 1970’s. A child of parents in the Secret Service, his has been a life well-travelled, across India, Australia and a recent discovery of his Caribbean roots and family in Trinidad. Culture, heritage, colour, life, imagination and the everyday inhabit the artist's paintings. View from a Verandah, IN Peter's words, 'In Trinidad I visited an old plantation house, where I sat on the verandah watching humming birds, just as my grandfather probably did.' Artist bio: Peter Rodulfo (b.1958 Washington D. C.) a British Artist and sculptor spent much of his youth travelling across India and Australia before settling in Norfolk where he studied at the Norwich School of Art and Design between 1975 - 1979. His first solo exhibition was held in 1980 at the Margaret Fisher Gallery in London, where he showed regularly for several years, and it was here that he found his first patron Gustav Delbanco. From that time he has continued to show both at home in the UK, and internationally in Europe, Asia, USA and South America. In 2012 Rodulfo relocated to the Norfolk coastal town of Great Yarmouth where he is a member of the ‘Yarmouth Six’ Group. He is also a leading member of the art movement known as the North Sea Magical Realists. A flamboyant family history provided early inspiration. His Father Monty, denied an art education in Paris, was enlisted by the Intelligence services in South Asia, whilst his Danish Grandfather, Martinus Poulsen was the owner of the famous Cafe de Paris est in 1924 in London. Rodulfo was artist in residence at The Barony of Fulwood Trust Foundation Goiana Brazil in 2004, and artist in residence at Shenzhen, China during 2012-2013 and in 2016. He was Artist in Residence at The Barony of Fulwood Trust, Open for Art Project at Fund, Portugal. Throughout his career the artist has enjoyed solo shows across a wide geographical reach including London, Miami, Zurich, Brazilia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Hong Kong as well as exhibiting at the Royal Academy Summer Show in London and at The Barbican in London.
