Kevin Rutan, today's featured guest, is seen standing among pieces of artwork sold at his recent studio show. Kevin is the ever talented, nationally-known, decorative artist and owner of "Fe Fi Faux, Inc." When not faux finishing walls for clients in the USA and abroad, Kevin can be found in his studio expressing his creativity on canvas. All of his artwork is original- no prints. He is especially known for faces of women, one of which was featured on the January 2021 O. Henry magazine cover. Kevin balances painting canvases with faux finishing which he learned in the Institute Guégan in Brittany, France, developing great expertise in faux bois and faux marble finishes. Kevin has lived in Greensboro for the past fifty years.
Twice a year, Kevin holds art shows in his College Hill studio, located behind his Joyner Street house. His house was once owned by William Raymond Taylor who was on staff at UNCG from 1921-1961. During his time in the house, William Taylor made theatre curtains in the above studio and the Rutans lived next door. When the Taylor family sold this great property, they offered it to their neighbors, the Rutans. Kevin has kept the legacy of creativity alive in this house that turns 100 this year. If you like modern art that balances creativity with technique, keep an eye out for Kevins paintings. See examples of Kevin's paintings at his recently created website. He has paintings at all price points, starting at only $45. Happy Tuesday!
A terrific portrait.
