Rudyard Heaton

I was born in France in 1969, and have lived in France and England. I now live and work near Paris. i am interested in realistic figurative painting, combined with graphic compositions; I use bold brush strokes to create an energetic atmosphere in scenes that might otherwise be neutral or serene

I obtained a first class honours ba in art and art history at goldsmiths college, London, in 1992, and spent six months as a student of tradditional japanese painting at tamagawa university, Japan, in 1993.
