Meet Rufus
Rufus the pooch joined our family about 8 years ago and as always in the background, whether at the gallery or warehouse, was the inspiration as we looked to specialize our business. Rufus Art Rentals was formed to do just that – dedicate and streamline our focus concentrating specifically to serve the film industry.
Rufus Art Rentals continues an authorized dealer for major studios with an extensive inventory including not only thousands of original modern and vintage works of art and sculpture but also antiques and collectibles that will no doubt complement your Set Dec needs.
Rufus Art Rentals is a division of the Petley Jones Gallery.
Meet Matt & Sue
Sue and Matt with their inspiration, Rufus himself. We are privileged to be listed as a trusted authorized dealer for the film industry for over 30 years.
Rufus Art Rentals was established by owner, director and painter Matt Petley-Jones. Born in Edmonton, Matt Petley-Jones graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts Special in 1978 with a major in painting, before continuing his study in Italy. Prior to formal education, his arts background was first informed by his family. Matt credits his love of art to his parents, who were both professional photographers. Influencing his artistic trajectory was his uncle Llewellyn Petley-Jones, who mentored Matt during painting expeditions in London, England.
Proudly Canadian, serving the film industry since 1986, the Rufus Art Rentals team is working to make authentic artwork easy to rent.
