Resident Artist

Rupert Record is a young, London based artist. His many personal works adorn the walls of the Leisure Pass Group offices. A graduate from the Royal Academy of Arts and Chelsea College of Arts, Rupert has been a practising artist and art teacher for some 8 years.

His paintings are layered using organic shapes, which allow the viewer to enter a world of sensuality and fantasy. Painting as a narrative, he uses symbolism from the military as metaphors for his own memories and dreams to comment on masculinity. An interest in the desire to find love, peace and friendship within a shadow of fear drives many of his works.

During 2000 – 2003, Rupert worked as an artist with refugees in temporary accommodation in Dover and London. From this experience, Rupert has drawn upon the common themes that emerge in their images: war, journeys, destruction, pain, symbols of their homeland, hope, memories and friendship.

His process of defining image and content are complex, intuition rather than logic rules the decision making process. They are images that demand attention and ask the viewer to ask questions of themselves and their society. The message is subtle and quietly humorous. The resultant works are beautiful, but when fully realised, surprise in their structure, content and visual richness.
