“When I’m painting a New York scene, there’s distance but also taxis and people walking about; everything is flowing. You won’t be able to see the people in the foreground as recognisable figures because I never put lots of detail in the face or expression as then it becomes too rigid and still. “The mountain pieces have these amazing blue shadows, which for me form the shape of the mountain, rather than the snow. I find the blues and the rock formations really interesting. You can also get a massive sense of distance, which is really exciting.” Contact your local gallery or visit our website to discover the collection and enquire about availability.

The pieces were painted in oils and resin on aluminium, copper, canvas and brass – and on a scale larger than ever before. Paul explains: ‘There are so many things that go into these big pieces: there’s texture, distance and fluidity. “For the ocean paintings, I’m a keen surfer, and have been for 30-odd years. I’m drawn to the sea, and my ocean pieces are moments that I’ve experienced. I also think about the ocean a lot, and it’s great fun to paint.”
