About Colin Ruffell

 
 
  • Biography

    Colin Ruffell F.G.S.A.

    Colin Ruffell was born in 1939, then he was bombed, evacuated, educated, expelled, repatriated, married, bred, qualified and taught; until in 1965, aged 26, he became a full-time professional artist. Since then he is, “very thankful, proud, and happy to have survived”.

    He was elected ‘Master of The Fine Art Trade Guild’ in 2008.

    He has exhibited all over the world, and has prints published in England, Scotland, U.S.A., Canada, and  Japan.

    He likes cooking, drinking, eating, reading, writing, quizzing, and talking about the archeo-psychic ego state or biological determinism.

    His pictures are varied. He paints in many styles. Some images are childlike and amusing, others are traditional landscapes, and yet more are complex modernist abstract relationships of colour, texture and shape. He admits that he paints in explosive bursts, necessarily punctuated by long spells of ‘getting ready’ or ‘recovery from the last effort’.

    Colin Ruffell creates original paintings, and publishes signed cards and prints from his archival inkjet print portfolio.
