Inspired by the magic of folklore and characterised by a warm, muted palette and aged plasterwork layering, reminiscent of fresco painting, narrative threads are woven around the interactions between Paul’s anthromorphised figures, in a world free from the boundaries of time and culture.
Paul lives and works in the north of Scotland.
