Paul’s unique creative process is built on meticulous technique and many hours of demanding work. He summons each image through individually painted dots, applied freehand using a fine brush and all in a different size, shape and colour. There are no shortcuts so each composition is the hard won but triumphant result of many hours of mental, physical and creative dedication. Paul’s art has received global acclaim from critics and collectors in the fashion and music industries and has been hailed as some of the most style-conscious imagery to define the shifting trends of popular culture. His on-trend images of ultimate desirability and unattainable perfection have won him high profile fashion assignments including a range of portraits of supermodels Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn. His artwork for The Killers’ album Day & Age, personally commissioned by Brandon Flowers, was named ‘best album cover of the year’ by Rolling Stone Magazine. Following a string of sell out shows and media attention both at home and as far afield as Japan, the United States and Australia, Paul has become one of the most successful artists of his generation.
