"Sunflower"

2022, oil and acrylic on canvas,130 x 115 cm

Rüdham’s work features countless cut-out minuscule silhouettes, dotted across the surface, varying in density, position and colour. At first, they look like birds, flocking together in flight patterns atop varying coloured skies. At closer inspection, it becomes clear they are all people, cut painstakingly with a scalpel and then layered onto the surface. This gives the art a multi-layered quality, that simply painting the silhouettes could not achieve. - Archie Brydon
