PAUL WRIGHT<br />
MODERN MASTER OF IMPRESSIONISM<br />
Paul Wright is a British painter who studied at the distinguished Falmouth<br />
College of <strong>Art</strong>. He is renowned for portrait painting through the UK and<br />
endeavours to capture the true essence of his subject, bringing it to life through<br />
his collaboration of paint and canvas.<br />
The brushstroke is prevailing in Paul’s compositions. It is dynamic and powerful,<br />
and every stroke is significant, commanding the space on the canvas of which<br />
it occupies. There is no blurring or softening of stroke, there is only a mesh of<br />
distinctive and often contrasting colour. This intensity is delicately balanced, so as<br />
not to overshadow the subject that it seeks to portray.<br />
Stylistically, there are elements of both Impressionism and Cubism at play in the<br />
work as Paul seeks to portray the personality of his muse. His repertoire of 21st<br />
century icons are often captured at the height of their celebrity heyday and the<br />
style that epitomises Paul’s work ensures that his muses are both timeless and<br />
ageless. There is a freshness to the subject, even though we are aware that some<br />
are depicted in their advanced years, when the silkiness of youth has long gone -<br />
this is both a highly desirable aspect of the work and a talent to be applauded.<br />
Paul is now a hugely successful British artist with a unique style which has earned<br />
him a place at the BP National Portrait Award on no less than two occasions. Paul<br />
received further awards from The National Gallery for the annual BP Award and<br />
he made the shortlist for grand prize in 2014.<br />
