Who is Kludo?

Kludo White created all of the art on this website by hand. He drives a VW Bay camper van. 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 a passion for Rock Music, Volkswagens, Painting 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 in professional Rock & Roll Bands and Theatre productions, the relative warmth, cleanliness and sobriety of the Artists Studio held a lot of appeal. He began to paint in earnest in 2003 after moving to a new house by the sea. The white walls of this new home seemed like an invitation to pick up the brushes. Friends began to ask for paintings like them and it snowballed. The results (a few years down the line) are the paintings you can see exhibited on this website.

"My paintings are expressions and symbols of freedom. I paint things they way I see them. Somewhere in the creative process the images end up with a bit with my personality and enthusiasm ... I think of everything as a performance & everything we make as an expression of who we are and what we think and feel. I think Art should be accessible and affordable for everyone. Life itself is an Art; The most popular paintings are the ones with a sense of idealism and they posses an aggressive crusading spirit that people relate to. The world they inhabit is the world where we're all living the dream. It's the idea or the lifestyle that appeals - anyway, it's all interesting and it all feels good" (KW 2008)

The paintings and Artwork on this website have been created for clients throughout the world since 2003 - present.

"I love painting a sets of artworks that relate to each other, for one room or venue like a cafe, bar or club. I like making the really big pictures & the more unusual the better. I get emails from folk all over the world via the website and they ask me to create all sorts of things. Whatever people throw at me, I'm always up for the challenge - that's a big reason why I love painting these pictures - you never know who the next email or phone call will be from and what they have in mind. In that way it's like improvising on stage - you never know what might happen next !"(KW 2009)
