Born in Perth, Western Australia, Rolf
has always loved art; Even before he went to Primary School,
whenever anyone asked him "What are you going to be when you grow
up?" his immediate response was "An artist!". At the age of
twenty-two, Rolf moved to London on what was supposed to be a year's
study leave, financing himself through four exhibitions of his work
held in Australia. He immediately enrolled at the City & Guilds Art
School in London, intending to follow in his grandfather's footsteps
and become a portrait painter. After a chance meeting with the
Australian impressionist painter 'Bill' Hayward Veal, however, he
began attending an art course run by Veal and soon became his
protégé. In the mid 1950's, for two years running, some of Rolf's
paintings were featured in the Summer Exhibition at the Royal
Academy. While painting continued to be a private passion of his, it
was for his television and stage performances that Rolf became a
household name. In recent years Rolf has devoted more time to
painting and has had a number of one-man shows, including the Rolf
on Art exhibition at the National Gallery. Rolf's BBC television
series Rolf on Art achieved the highest television ratings ever for
a UK arts programme. Rolf has been awarded the OBE, is a member of
the Order of Australia and has won many awards for his work in the
entertainment industry. Recently he was made an honorary member of
the Royal Society of British Artist. |
