Original artwork description:

A short series of pencil drawings exploring how a ‘simple’ pencil drawing can trick the mind into thinking that an object is metallic or shiny (Or both) - I was going to call this series ‘Tubular Bells’ after the Mike Oldfield Album of the same title - however the image used on the album cover was far simpler and less realistic that I had hoped it would be. Instead I found a small toy made up of metallic links that you can manipulate into an infinite number of shapes - as long as they are loops :) Thus - Infinite Loop.

Drawn as always on smooth Bristol Board with Faber Castell 9000 series pencils and a Tomo Zero eraser - size for this drawing is 50cm X 33cm


The drawing is being sold unframed to reduce shipping costs - however I can offer a bespoke framing service as required - just send me a message to discuss.

Turning professional in 2016 Paul has won accolades across the globe, initially exhibiting and selling work in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand he now resides in the centre for contemporary British Art and the Tate Modern Gallery, St. Ives, Cornwall.
From his open studio and commercial gallery in the town he spends hours, weeks and months drawing incredibly detailed images inspired by the plethora of artists and art in the local area.
His work is on permanent display in 'The Stowe Gallery' in St. Ives and with individual and corporate collections across the world.
