Bungay-based contemporary landscape painter Paul Zawadzki draws inspiration from a love of the Waveney Valley, especially Outney Common and Bath Hills, as well as the marshes, treescapes and uncompromising Suffolk coastline at Covehithe and Dunwich.
He mainly paints in oils on canvas or hessian, enhancing pigments with natural materials like sand and sawdust, as well as using varnish, dust and rusted steel to capture the spirit of the landscape. There is a love of spontaneity in his approach – enthusiastically embracing the 'happy accident' by dripping, blotting and splashing paint while retaining an element of traditional landscape painting in the final stages.
Recently completing an MA Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts, Paul has his own studio/gallery in Bungay in order to bring his work to the local community. Over 300 of his paintings are in private collections and he regularly participates in local arts events and exhibitions.
