Brad Rude

Art Brokerage: Brad Rude American Artist: b. 1964. Brad Rude was born 1964 in Lewistown, Montana. Rude's journeys through his grandfather's folk art studio left him with the images of horses and carriages–his first carved horse still holds a place of prominence in his studio, next to his extensive collections of found objects, books, pictures and anything that might inspire him. His passion for living in the country, have left him with a love of the Northwest and a concern for the human condition and Nature's well-being. His art can be viewed as a simple offering of beauty, as he creates renderings of Mother Nature's creatures–dogs, rhinos, lion, cows and horses. Or one can see each animal–Brad's main object–surrounded by the emblems of the human conditions of uncertainty, danger, questions, joy. His art has been widely exhibited and may be found in numerous corporate and private collections.
