ROB HEFFERAN

Rob Hefferan's style captures exact details yet seems completely effortless in its execution. Well-painted subtle surroundings brilliantly compliment the subject and showcase Hefferan’s finely honed skill. His masterfully composed figurative works are a compilation of beauty, form & light. There is something evocative in the implied story within each work; the voyeuristic appeal that draws in the viewer and lets them create what is happening in the image.

      Rob Hefferan BIO

Back to top

Hefferan studied formally at Manchester University where he first studied illustration and then went on to develop a realistic painting technique; a unique style that has matured over the last ten years. In 1991 he left college and joined an illustration agency but has since shifted to fine art exclusively. His style captures exact details yet seems completely effortless in its execution. Well-painted subtle surroundings brilliantly compliment the subject and showcase Hefferan’s finely honed skill. His masterfully composed figurative works are a compilation of beauty, form & light. There is something evocative in the implied story within each work; the voyeuristic appeal that draws in the viewer and lets them create what is happening in the image. Rob credits his influences as the Pre-Raphaelites, French Impressionists, Degas and the illustrations of Norman Rockwell. Rob also finds visiting a variety of galleries inspiring; twice visiting the United States to see the country and to look at galleries in New York, California, Nevada, Tennessee and Louisiana.

Since the debut of Rob Hefferan’s figurative works in 2001, Rob has become one of the most celebrated new artists in the United Kingdom. Already receiving much interest from galleries and having participated in both the Spring and Autumn Fairs at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England where his paintings sold out within hours, Hefferan promises to be a hit in the United States as well.

In his free time Rob enjoys running. He has run the London Marathon and has run numerous half-marathons for charity. Though not musical himself, Rob has an extensive CD and record collection. “I love music.” Says Rob. “It helps get my emotions going when I am working and in some ways the music helps to influence the mood of the painting.” Rob Hefferan lives in Lancashire, England with his wife. They are expecting their first child in March of 2006.
