About Paul Hunter
Biography
I love to capture the drama in the landscape. I explore my surroundings looking for what I find unusual which can inspire my painting. This could be an old decorative building sitting alongside a glass office or a plant which looks like some creepy animal or simply an amazing sea view.
The making of my paintings is both on location and in the studio. Painting the ever-changing light on location feeds a sense of urgency and energy into my work. Studio painting takes a deeper, calmer approach using a variety of tools and media. The choice of tools and media depend on the situation but invariably reflect a need to physically and intuitively manipulate the paint. A sense of wonder and curiosity of the natural drama is at heart throughout.
