PAUL RAFFERTY
Born in 1965 in Oxford,
England, Rafferty is entirely self taught and consumed with a passion for plein
air painting in both Oil and Watercolour.
The influence from 19th and 20th century masters is evident in Rafferty's work.
From the light of Sarolla to the Englishness of Seago, every
painting is about light and it's play on the subjects he depicts. Having the
fortunate opportunity to live in California and the South of France,
Rafferty's work is infused with an abundant source of light, each location being
a staging point where he can travel through Europe or the United
States and gather material to express his vision. "I hope that where ever
or what ever I paint, my hand and style shine through" Rafferty says
of
his varied locales and subject matter, "a still life holds the same
inspiration as a landscape for me, the way light falls across an object
revealing
it's form and essence".
