Rolf Harris - New Collection available at the Gallery in May

Creative Art Gallery are excited to announce that we will be introducing Rolf Harris's artwork to the gallery over the next couple of weeks.

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!".
After leaving school he enrolled at the City & Guilds Art School in London witn the intention of following in his grandfather's footsteps as a portrait artist. However after a chance meeting with the Australian impressionist painter 'Bill' Hayward Veal, he began attending an art course run by Veal and soon became his protégé.

In the mid 50's Rolf became a household name following his television and stage performances. Rolf's BBC television series Rolf on Art achieved the highest television ratings ever for a UK arts programme. Rolf hosted television's biggest ever Arts event with a live BBC special titled Rolf on Art: The Big Event, in which he joined the public in recreating a large-scale version of Constable's 'Haywain' in Trafalgar Square. The massive event was such a huge success that the BBC staged two further Rolf on Art: The Big Event specials in Edinburgh and London. 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.
