Who is Kludo?

 |
Kludo created the music & art on this website with his own bare hands. He drives a VW Bay Camper Van (when it starts). His first car at age14 was a VW Beetle. He has spent his working life as a Musician, Actor & Artist. He has also been known to teach. Bringing together his passion for an alternative lifestyle, Rock Music, Volkswagens, Painting, Guitars and Surfing has resulted in a lot of very brightly coloured Artworks that appeal to people of a certain disposition all over the world.
After years of touring as a professional Musician and Actor, the warmth, cleanliness & sobriety of the Artists Studio held a huge appeal. After his back got broken at 27 he began to paint in earnest in 2004 and moved to a new house and a healthier life by the sea. The white walls of this new home seemed an invitation to pick up the brushes again. Friends asked for paintings like them and the resultant years produced the paintings on this website.
"My paintings are expressions of freedom. I paint the world how I see it. Somewhere in the creative process they end up with a bit of my personality. It's all a performance & everything I make's an expression of who I am, what I think & feel. Art is for everyone: Life itself is Art. My paintings possess a sense of idealism, an aggressive crusading spirit that people relate to. That world is where we're all living the dream. The people who like what I do seem like nice people. I'm just being me; It's just my way - I do it 'cos I like it, it feels right & by the way, it's good therapy too!"
"Surfing, camping and a more organic, balanced lifestyle have changed my life for the better
... and the love of a good woman, becoming a Daddy and a dog owner"
Kludo sings other people's songs in the bands Mystery Men, The Flip Flops, The Go-Man-Go's & The Sillybillys.
He sings his own compositions in The Moon Biscuits & now Solo as "Kludo White" with the 2011 release on Whitewater Records of his new solo album called

"I enjoy painting a set of pictures that relate to each other for one room: be that a home, cafe, bar or club & I LOVE making the really big ones! I get emails from across the world. Whatever it is, I'm up for the challenge. I never know who the next email or phone call will be from and what they have in mind. I'm enjoying the balance of touring again when a good job comes up too ... life's just like my favourite way of being on stage - I never know what might happen next !"
