Biography | |
Paul, a native of New York, has been involved in photographic and mixed-media processes for over 38 years. His work with texture and color has brought him critical acclaim and numerous awards in Los Angeles, where he has practiced his artistry for the past 25 years. Paulâs move to Nevada in 2008 has allowed him to become more deeply focused on his medium. His unswerving fascination with elaborate textures and colors, along with hand manipulation of fluid film, pigment and epoxies, has given creation to singularly unique compositions.
As his artistry continued to evolve, Paul moved beyond film and began exploring the use of hand-mixed epoxy resins. He has not looked back since. Paul found a new freedom in mixing his own pigments and dyes into the resins. This alchemical process allows for fluid, translucent layers of color that cannot be achieved in any other medium. The ability to move and rearrange the mutable image for hours on end, sometimes adding in elements of glass, sand, natural gold and other reflective elements is fascinating to watch. An image gestates, grows and develops a life and personality of its own. The interactive layers of high gloss pigment along with added elemental textures conspire to create a distinctively contemporary vision.
Paulâs original resin art has a life and glow of its own from multiple complex layers to rich saturated colors. Visual bursts of form and color allows the mind to travel across the image at a pleasing tempo. This is the essence of my painting. |
