Struggling to sew Regret Tent, 2019

Sewing Regret Tent, 2021

Paul’s multidisciplinary practice incorporates working with painting, text, sculpture and print. On the borders of abstraction and figuration, his work explores the interplay between painterly flatness and sculptural relief.

Playing with the sound, rhythm and meaning of words, Paul’s text pieces draw on his love of language and wordplay. Often working with readily available materials and found items, the work explores fragments of language, things said and unsaid, meaning hidden and revealed, events both personal and social.

His work references a wide range of subject matter including autobiographical narratives, psychoanalysis, waste and consumption and geomorphology – the changing face of land, rivers and seas.

Paul studied Fine Art at the University of Wales and Fine Art and Design at Pratt New York. He has an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies from the Tavistock London and an MA in Fine Art from Kingston School of Art London (2015). He is based in London and Brighton. Insta; pdmitch_
