Rudolph Studios is a family business that intends to use our creative expression to be involved in people's everyday lives. David Rudolph is the lead artist and has produced sculpture both wooden and concrete including public art pieces such as The Big Picture TV. Since our relocation to New Mexico in 2001, David Rudolph started his journey with painting and hasn't stopped since. His approach to cubism is literal as he creates within a theme of what he calls the Digital Universe since the start of his professional career as an artist in 1973. In his early works he wanted to capture motion, a key frame in a moment within the Digital Universe. As he moved onto concrete in his sculptural works in the 1980s, he started making plans to create large scale projects. The Big Picture TV was among the first projects to be made and his concept behind the piece is to be able to be publicly displayed at any location and have people interact and connect with one another through that interaction. The piece is supposed to evoke a sense of play as the setting within the sculpture is a television talk host show set and the piece invites the audience to interact creatively. Another public art installation he made is called The Books and is permanently placed in the Santa Fe Community College. The artist created it with Albert Einstein's famous quote, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" in mind for the proposal. Like The Big Picture TV, The Books is made from a special formulation of concrete that is weather resistant. The Books are representative of something else that is familiar in our lives but reminds us that imagination is still a key component in writing or any creative endeavor. So really, the foundation of the work that comes out of Rudolph Studios is for others to be able to relate to one another through art. Our mission is to create shared spaces through art and generate imagination from the public view.
