Paul graduated from Cheltenham University in 1999 with a BA Honours in Fine Art. Currently working in a studio in the East End of London, his painting and print-work have steadily gained in popularity over the years. His professional knowledge of the digital environment progressively impacts on his traditional fine art practice, enabling him to deploy advanced digital processes to construct images of fallacious realisms. His work vacillates between reality and its virtual origins, never settling for one or the other. The fetishistic flattening of surface suppresses a neurotic anthropological undercurrent that is present in his works. His observations make a subtle pun on societal values but he also sublimates the banal in a precise, rarified manner. His work and influences are derived from photo-realism and its concurrent manifestation, hyper-realism.
