Paul Rooney

Born 1982 - Manchester - England.

I live and work in Manchester. At University I specialised in film. The work produced was on the whole short, abstract and experimental. Since graduation in 2006, I have conciously dedicated my practice to drawing, painting and photographing female nudes alongside photographing inanimate objects and locations. I intend to commence an MA in Fine Art in September 2011. I engage heavily with the paintings of Francis Bacon, Jenny Saville, Leon Kossoff and the photography of Andreas Gursky and Sam Taylor-Wood. I occasionally like to dabble with abstract painting.
