Rupert Hartley is a visual artist living and working in Hove, East Sussex, UK.

Trained originally in printed textile design at the Glasgow School of Art his work has focused on painting in recent years. Using his studio as a ‘hands on’ production space he explores the limits of traditional painting re-thinking its process and status. He describes his recent work as ‘painted grounds, reflections of his surroundings and art history, a repurposing of colours and found materials’.

His most recent work has focused on colour grids and his broader interest in the built environment.

He has exhibited both nationally and internationally recent shows including: BINARY, Terrace Gallery London, KICKOFF – Volume 0, Contemporary Art Chronicle, This Year’s Model, Studio 1.1 Gallery and Wells Art Contemporary.
