Paul West
Paul West's work draws inspiration from the rugged terrain of the countryside, in particular Northumberland and Wales. Low horizons, huge skies and the mystery of woodlands and solitary trees are key features in his paintings and charcoal landscapes.
Paul's preferred base of wooden board interacts with the paint - contrasting impasto application with the roughness of the grain and the abrasive action of removing layers with sandpaper which in turn evokes a different sensibility. When it comes to charcoal drawings, he works to a more analytical, graphic style - creating ‘brooding’ landscapes that balance quietness with frenetic bursts of energy.
