About the Item
Visiting the Snakeman, acrylic on canvas, 60cm x 76cm
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.
Visiting the Snakeman:
'As a child in India I was once riding in a car with my father through the Western Ghats when we drew up by a remote and solitary house.My father explained that a friend of his lived there.Stepping into the house we were surrounded by shelves full of pickled snakes as well as some live vipers.On going to the bathroom I found a large python encircling the toilet bowl.I was assured that she was friendly.
On leaving the house the snakeman showed me his fishpond and promised that he would give me a fish next time we came if I bought a large jar. Sadly we never passed that way again.'
Artist bio:
Peter Rodulfo (b.1958 Washington D.

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.
