Peter Rodulfo (born 1958) is a British artist and sculptor who spent much of his childhood travelling across India and Australia, before settling in Norwich, UK where he studied at the Norwich school of Art and Design (now Norwich University of the Arts) from 1975 - 1979. While based in Norwich, he continued to travel extensively; he was artist in residence at Goiana, Brazil in 2004, and more recently, he was artist in residence at Shenzhen, China during 2012-13.〔https://www.londonart.co.uk/sales/view_art.asp?artistID=247〕〔http://www.oldframlinghamian.com/article.php?story=20060708005012550〕〔dm.revita newspaper Brazil 16th February 2004〕 Rodulfo re-located to the Norfolk coastal resort of Great Yarmouth in 2012 where he is a member of the 'Yarmouth Six'. He is also, along with Mark Burrell, a leading member of the movement known as the North Sea Magical Realists. ==Themes and influences== Rodulfo is a prolific painter, working predominately with oils on canvas, and occasionally in the medium of sculpture. His paintings are loosely associated in their imagery and symbolism to Magical Realism, exploring themes, often with great humour, such as love and loss, the erosion of memory, natural and fantasy landscape, the elements, portraiture, and animals, real and imaginary. His art is thematically and stylistically similar to the work of Paul Klee, Max Ernst and the British surrealist Leonora Carrington (1917- 2011). However his influences, along with the subject-matter, style and imagery of his paintings are varied, experimental and esoteric. One art-critic appraises his work thus - : "''Peter Rodulfo's work is a delight tempered with a prickle of unease--a journey into an imagination that tips your expectations sideways with a sly wink and tweak. Peter plays with what you think you know but does so in such a manner that you welcome the opportunity. His work deserves and earns close scrutiny. The visual puns, the technique and colors, the mediums employed all demand that you pay attention and you do, for fear of missing something important--and his work feels important. It is a mirror, a journey, and his talent is a pure pleasure''".〔http://www.soundzine.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=127:peter-rodulfo&catid=36:art-and-photography&Itemid=56〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Rodulfo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
