Going Astray

Oil on Canvas
150 x 50 cm.
Going Astray (2025) is an atmospheric and open-ended oil painting in which Cameron Rudd captures a moment of drifting movement and psychological displacement. A young figure floats on the surface of the water atop an air mattress, surrounded by a broad expanse of rippling blue that dominates the composition.
The low, horizontal format enhances the sense of drift and directional uncertainty. The water is rendered in calm, repeated brushstrokes, while the distant landscape appears soft and slightly dissolved.
The painting reflects on loss of orientation and temporary surrender — both physical and mental. It exemplifies Rudd’s practice, where everyday scenes are infused with quiet existential tension and a feeling of moving away from something without knowing exactly where one is headed.

This artwork is presented here as part of a small selection. Please reach out to us for access to a showroom with all available artworks.
