| Paul Davies | |
Born in Croydon.I work as a writer, painter, sculptor and muralist. After a year in beautiful Cumbria I am at present living and working in rural Suffolk. |
|
| About the Artist | |
My art is concerned with 2-dimensional geometric shapes. Out of these abstractions I try to recreate images and visions of the world in which the beauty of everything that nature creates is counterbalanced by a darkening fear of the ruination which our species is bringing to our planet. Central to my images and visions is often a sun shown amongst striations of colour moving from light to dark. |

Triumphal Arch
2006 |
)
|
| I enjoy creating architectural fantasies that convey some of the different moods of real buildings. This archway is intended to convey an image of joy at achieving a happy result in some great task. |
|
Defined Sun
2007 |
)
|
| Here the image of the open square is intended to suggest that the beauty of the sky beyond cannot be reached. |
|
Study for Dark Sun One
2006 |
)
|
| This is intended to be a rather disturbing image suggestive of natural calamity. A dark sun and a sky that is strangely divided in its colours. |
|
Sun between Yellow Columns
2006 |
)
|
| The mood I am trying to create in this painting is one of tranquillity: a sun slowly setting amidst high gathering clouds. |
|
Untitled Four
2007 |
)
|
| I have tried to reduce the image in this painting to absolute simplicity with just a few related shapes in closely linked shades of colour. My intention has been to create an abstract image conclusive to harmony, tranquillity and beauty. |
|
Darkness into Light
2007 |
)
|
| By way of a series of pixelated squares I have moved from darkness at the very heart of the painting to a peripheral paleness through reds and yellows. There are 2 points of darkness at the centre of the painting, darkness looking at darkness, perhaps the darkness and mystery at the heart of every human being. |
|
Cityscape with Approaching Storm
2008 |
)
|
| The modern city is a high tech. glass world and yet it is also a place of fear because modern lifestyles are causing terrible change to our planet. In this painting I tried to link these two diverse ideas. |
|
The Dawn
2007 |
)
|
| Here I am trying to create a sense of hope and renewal that comes with each new day. Although pessimistic about our world I would never entirely abandon hope. |
|
In the dark Autumnal Forest
2007 |
)
|
| In this painting I have attempted to convey a sense of deep forest surrounding you on all sides - dense and impenetrable as it slowly turns into autumnal colours. |
|
| Education and biography | |
| I have lived and worked as an artist, writer and sculptor in many places. Though not formally trained I have been inspired by a life time of looking at and enjoying art. My work has been shown at galleries in the UK. I have sold on line here and in the USA. |
|
| Future shows | |
| I have showen some work at the Florence Biennale for Contemporary Art. I have been invited to exhibit at Montreal next year. I am taking part in a group exhibition at the Adam St. Club, Charing Cross in March & the Waitrose Gallery in Brighton, October. | |
