Paul is a largely self taught artist, who took to painting again 14 years after his last lesson at school. Now 32, his style has evolved into one that is truly unique.

Portraying his past as a nationally acclaimed athlete, Paul's impressionist style creates the perception of energy and movement even for stationary objects and architecture. His heavily textured pieces created with differing paint formulas can appear normal from afar, with intriguing detail and techniques emerging on closer inspection. A surprising care to accuracy is needed to lay flat and textured layers in specific order, some on the easel, others on the studio floor for varying effects.

The primary use of pallet knives to eliminate the usual brush strokes from his work, and often painting on board to avoid canvas texture also, creates paintings exactly as the artist intends – although contradictorily is inherently less accurate than using brushes, and his highlighting ‘exploding’ paint splashes add an element of chance to his work..

After being signed by Warwick Studios Art Lounge in April 2008 Paul is working together with the gallery on several projects moving towards national publication, and solo show launching 17th August.

Requests for commissions welcome, and constructive critique invaluable!
