Rob Hefferan

b. 1968 Manchester ~UK Desperate to follow an artistic career he found discouragement round every corner, with the exception of his art teacher who recognised that his gift was a rare and unbridled one. Rob is always on the look out for new styles and techniques to dissect, and his work grows and changes as he absorbs a broad range of influences. His latest figurative pieces are beautifully delicate compositions completed after painstaking photographic sessions with real models. Each image is a fascinating blend of intricate foreground detail with broader brush strokes used to create an atmospheric backdrop. His work has been greeted with great enthusiasm and much acclaim on the fine art market, confirming his position as one of the most exciting rising stars on the contemporary art scene.
