I was born in 1969 on the Isle Of Man. From 1970 – 1974 I lived in Adelaide, Australia, then it was back to the IOM until I moved to Sunderland in 1990 where I graduated from the University of Sunderland in 1993. In 1993, I moved into a shared studio space up three flights of stairs with no light and constant damp. Not long after, I set up the Bunker Studio Group, ground floor sculpture space where I worked until moving to Nottingham in 1995. In 1996, I set up Moreland Court Artists Studio Group with another artist, providing ground floor and first floor studio spaces.
I produce sculptures for exhibition and public commission. Exhibitions have included venues in New York, Dallas, Vienna, Madrid and Barcelona. I have various large scale sited sculptures positioned around Britain.
I am an Associate of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and a mentor for students on the post-graduate Arts in Practice course, University of Derby.

| 关于此艺术家 |
Paul Frank Lewthwaite makes sculptures that make a fragmented poetic rather than coherent practical sense. Timber boxes open to reveal spray-painted MDF flat packs for the construction of not domestic shelves or furniture but what the artist calls “motifs of fragmentation”. Ship for the Sinking is a steel kit for a sea-going suicide. A Place of Blindness is a steel model house spray painted black with plywood boarded-up windows. Three Diaries: Hopes, Dreams, Desires is a set of three steel diary-sized locked safes. The mystifying strength of Lewthwaite’s work lies in its half-resemblance to quite ordinary things. Often made from DIY materials, these constructions look like they should be of some use, yet like a DIY joke, their use escapes us. A recent series of even more mysterious plywood sculptures were based on a combination of drawings done at Madrid’s Museo Arqueologico Nacional and reproductions taken from The War Illustrated publications 1940-1946. These are plywood semi-abstracts but again take on the significance of skeletal relics or fossilised remains. Then again they could be bits of furniture gone weird, furnishings from a DIY nightmare. Lewthwaite’s mock-domestic sculptures bring home the fact that an artwork is an immaculately crafted object that is of absolutely no use to anyone other than being its own deeply suggestive self.
