Paul Bennett

With global representation, fine artist, Paul Bennett specialises in original landscape and seascape paintings. The styles are very different, but all strive to generate a sense of intimacy and isolation while leaving the subject open to interpretation. The seascape and landscapes paintings are created from memory, rather than referring to photography, resulting in more abstracted and expressive pieces rather than realistic representation.

Found in private and public collections worldwide, Paul Bennett’s main aim is to create work that is most definitely painted; an antidote to mass produced visuals, which are consumed, almost subconsciously, in our everyday. This is accomplished by using rich textures, multiple layers and markmaking. Paul wants his paintings to tease out more than the eye can see, to draw people in and invite them to experience – not just consume – an image.

Paul Bennett graduated from art school in 2001. He is originally from London, but now lives and works in the wild and inspiring Lake District. Paul Bennett's paintings are represented by galleries that also sell the works of Picasso, Hirst, Rothko, Matisse, Newman and Warhol, as well as many other revered artists.
