Steven Rhude Fine Art

WEBSITE

The work of Steven Rhude is an ongoing visual documentary of maritime coastal life. Aspects of this life are shared with us through his use of composite imagery, common and uncommon symbols, and the representation of cultural artifacts. Drawing directly from his immediate experience and environment, Steven has accumulated a collection of visual metaphors which exert their appeal upon us as we discover in them emotion both animated and deeply poetic. Images seem to conjure up a parade like quality of visual elements, shapes and coloured patterns which in turn contribute to the lyricism and humor of a coastal event. Steven's ocular and narrative understanding of his maritime home reflect an old mystery, one which muses on the resilience of coastal life despite the continued pressures of urban values.
Steven has once again generously offered a one-of-a-kind artwork for the Festival Raffle. This water-colour, titled "On the Road to Canso" was painted on his way to Stanfest and is valued at $1400.

THE OCEAN: The Ocean covers hundreds of kilometres while you slumber so that upon waking, your eyes alight upon Chaleur Bay in all its misty, early-morning glory. After breakfast, you wander to the Park car to learn about lobster traps, ghost ships and Acadian traditions.
You could get used to this rhythm!
