"I don't want to be a product of my environment...I want my environment to be a product of me" - Jack Nicholson in "The Departed" |
| About the Artist | |
Xany Rudoff is a Los Angeles-based artist, a self proclaimed "visionaire extraordinaire" who works primarily as a painter, but has dabbled in acting, interior design, wardrobe styling, and modeling. Born in Pasadena to an artist mother and art historian father, Rudoff moved with her family to the desert expanse of Apple Valley, CA, a site that would be crucial for her artistic development. In the wide, empty nothingness of the desert landscape, there were no limitations to Rudoff’s imagining, and upon returning to Los Angeles proper to get her B.A. in fine arts at the University of California, Los Angeles, she was able to see the city and the art world from the outside. This sort of perspective is what has driven her to remain independent, outside of the gallery system, and to advocate for artists’ right to receive royalties for the resale of their works. |

| Education and biography | |
| 1995 Bachelor of Fine Arts UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) * I have been profiled in The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair magazine, and Los Angeles magazine. "Ever since I was a child, I have been captivated by painting and music. I grew up surrounded by the vast, wide-open expanse of the desert landscape that would later prove to greatly influence my artistic vision, having no boundaries or limitations to my imagination. Being an artist was never a conscious decision, I have always been different, seeing the world not as it was, but as how I envisioned it: a magical world filled with enchantment and amazement, vivid mesmerizing colors, and always to a soundtrack of rock and roll. I always paint listening to music; the two are inseparable to me in the process of creation, the lines blurred as to which influences the other more. My latest series of work combines these passions together by taking the albums I grew up listening to and the rock stars I idolized and transforming them into modern day Icons - lusterized in gold and lacquer echoing the same techniques that have been used by artists for centuries throughout the Byzantine and Renaissance era. These paintings take the familiar and transcend into the iconic, an exultant and exuberant example of modern-day devotion. Music and art are my religion and my release." - Xany Rudoff |

| LOS ANGELES ARTIST XANY RUDOFF SHOWS HER NEWEST WORK AND PUSHES FOR ARTIST'S RIGHTS Los Angeles, CA, May 1, 2009 This fall, Los Angeles-based artist Xany Rudoff will be debuting her new work, the Icon Series, which features vintage album covers that have been painted and embellished using Renaissance techniques to affect the look of religious icon paintings. Trained at one of the most prestigious fine art programs in the country, UCLA, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude, Rudoff has been making art and stirring things up for some time, and there’s a paper trail to prove it: she’s been featured in the New York Times Magazine, Los Angeles magazine and Vanity Fair. Her work has previously appeared in group exhibitions and benefits, but this latest venture will be her first major solo show. Always one to rail against convention, Rudoff remains an independent artist outside of the gallery system and a vocal advocate for changing the way the art world operates. Rudoff is pushing for artists to have more control over their work and to reap the benefits from the potential resale of their pieces. Currently, artists only receive income from the first sale of a piece, but should a work be re-sold for a much higher price, they don’t get a percentage. This is not the way it should be, Rudoff notes, and points to recent changes in France and the European Union — where a royalty is payable to an artist or the artist’s heirs every time a work is re-sold — as evidence that the system can and should be changed. And one reason that Rudoff has chosen to show and sell her work in California is a little-known state law that requires that an artist receive royalties on the re-sale of fine art. By showing her new work without the aid of a gallery, Rudoff hopes to draw attention to this issue. Her latest work, The Icon Series, transforms vintage LP covers into luminous, religious art objects of the present. In these works, Rudoff explores the idea of the iconic by using found albums — David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Led Zeppelin — that feature images that are themselves iconic and borrowing the visual language of Byzantine masters painters to push this idea even further. In a process that mimics the making of traditional Renaissance icon paintings, Rudoff applies gold leaf to the album’s surface, followed by paint and lacquer. The result is breathtaking work that luminesces with the burnished luster of a church fresco, but is intimate and personal in size and image: rock ’n’ roll icons made magnificent in a work that is at once transcendent and familiar — a painting the size of an LP that can be held in one’s hands, transformed into an exultant and exuberant example of modern-day devotion. *Please go to www.xanyart.com for the latest news and information on upcoming exhibitions. |
