Craig Ruddy - Self Portrait

Self Portrait by Craig Ruddy.  Tigmi are honoured to present a limited edition series of prints from revered Australian artist Craig Ruddy's prolific collection of works.  Best known for his portrayal of Australian First Nations people, Craig was also greatly invested in using his medium to advocate for causes that were close to his heart. Since his passing and in-line with his wishes, the Craig Ruddy Scholarship was established in his name at Flinders University. This annual scholarship helps to reduce financial barriers for First Nations medical students in the Northern Territory by providing study equipment and resources, mentoring or tutoring, or any other tangible needs. We hope that in presenting Craig's works, we are also able to bring light to this important initiative.  20% of all proceeds from the sale of these works will be donated to the Craig Ruddy Scholarship fund.  This exhibition was made possible with the help of Craig's life partner Roberto Meza Mont whom we express our deepest love and gratitude.  This piece is one of Craig's favourite self-portraits, created in Buenos Aires. He loved the use of graffiti pens on board, as depicted in this piece, finished with a clear varnish.  Digitally signed, Unframed.
