About the Item
Recalling Britannia, acrylic on canvas, 100cm x 40cm, 2023
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.
Recalling Britannia,
In the artist's words, 'This is another painting that went through many changes. It started life as a picture of two suitors who seemed to come from another age. I then imagined that they would now be very old and might perhaps recall with nostalgia their honeymoon in an english seaside town, and so I introduced the pier and the painting started to come together'.
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.

- Folk Art Painting Africa Dance Music Animal Morocco Desert Gnawa Music Dog CamelBy Nancy PattersonLocated in Norfolk, GBThis captivating Folk Art painting on on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The tale of Bouderbala of Bounou, Part 3', acrylic on board, with frame 29.5cm x 38cm, 2014. Signed on the front. Professionally framed in a painted wooden shadow boxed. Ready to hang. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. This painting is an excellent example of a lyrical tale. It is as if with our gaze we traverse the painting, joining in the energy and movement of those in the painting. Nancy explains the tale, 'Bouderbala is the Happy Wanderer, a Pied Piper in Rags and Patches who travels carefree, alone or with his companions. He is one of the seven main Spirits in a Gnawa Leila Ceremony; he dances in a clownish loose-limbed way, but sometimes adds surprising acrobatic moves. Daoud is always cheerful like Bouderbala, as well as rather unpredictable. In his younger days his family wanted him to study Law, but he opted for Gymnastics. One day when we were out in the dunes and came across three Nomad kids playing Spin the Hoop with an old bicycle...Category
