Paul Bennett

University for the Creative Arts, Farnham (BA (Hons) Fine Art , 2001)

With global representation, fine artist Paul Bennett specialises in contemporary semi-abstract seascapes and landscapes, abstraction and also distinctive portraiture. The three themes are very different in mood, style and perspective, but both endeavour to generate a sense of intimacy and isolation while leaving the subject open to interpretation. The intention is to create from memory to produce finished work that is abstracted and more expressional than representational. Paul's work is in private and public collection worldwide.

It has been Bennett's aim to create work that is most definitely painted; accomplished by using rich textures, multiple layers and brush/palette knife marks. This becomes a way of escaping the everyday, mass produced visuals that we are constantly exposed to and the way in which we now digest and assimilate our visual world. His approach is to record and comment on things that are more than visually apparent: to tease out more than the eye can see, to draw people in and invite them to experience – not just consume – an image.
