The Tourists Painting

This piece is from a series Paul has done on endangered species and ecotourism. They are influenced by the works of Duane Hanson' sculptures in the 70s. Hanson's commentary on the human condition is something that is evident in Paul's work. The figures in the piece seem to be completely unaware of the tiger in front of them. "Artist Statement I have spent the last 15 years developing a painterly language through which I seek to capture a vitality beyond the establishment of a mere ‘likeness’ to the subject. Whilst I appreciate the importance of the subject being recognisable, they are glimpsed rather than exposed, their inner selves hinted at but ultimately inscrutable. Though I often work on a large, potentially imposing scale, the work remains immediate through fluency of brush mark and a rich palette. The spaces the subjects inhabit are often indeterminate, providing an atmosphere that allows for ambiguity of psychological state. The subjects retain their integrity and yet a sense of intimacy is evoked"
