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