Gary Ruddell Figurative Paintings
American, b. 1951
Gary Ruddell (b. 1951, San Mateo, CA) received his BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1975 and began his art career by illustrating a series of notable science fiction and fantasy book covers. In the early 1990s, Ruddell turned his focus to figurative paintings and started exhibiting at galleries, museums, and universities. Regarding the inspiration for his work, the artist says: "The vehicle, which drives my images, has always been my relationship with my family. It is an essential part of my development and process. Mundane and routine scenes, like children calling out for one another or the interventions of mother and son are what spark my own imagination from childhood."
Ruddell has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, and his paintings have been acquired by significant corporate and private collectors around the globe. He continues to live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area.to
