British artist Paul Powis is a painter of modern times. Paul trained at the College of Art in Birmingham and put his focus into abstract painting. After graduating there was a period of orientation which ended with meeting his now wife Sara Hayward and a love of landscapes. The artist couple live in Worcestershire and enjoy travelling. Paul Powis enjoys exhibiting his work frequently. The artist is a popular painter at international exhibitions. Critics give the Brit an enviably positive review and speak approvingly of the painter's landscapes. Moreover, Paul Powis has succeeded in something that only a few painters manage: He has won the love, of the non-expert audience with his abstracted landscapes.
The painting of abstraction polarizes until today. Without the representational reference and the language of forms, a work demands attention. In his depictions of landscapes, Paul Powis never goes completely non-representational. The reduced formal language of abstract painting is found in rectangular shapes and lines. A non-objective work is a composition of color, contrasts, lines and geometric shapes. When considering what constitutes a landscape, color is a high priority. Paul Powis uses color to express his subjective feeling. With lines and shapes he sets contours and creates structures. Fields and horizons appear in the British artist's brightly coloured worlds, creating landscapes. The landscapes are real, but they are not photographed or sketched, they are created in the eye of the beholder.
Paul Powis prefers to paint in the early morning or late afternoon. The artist loves the long shadows created by the light during these hours. Paul is an avid painter who spends much of his time working for galleries. In addition, he does commissioned work for book illustrations, calendars and greeting cards. In addition to painting with acrylics, Paul Powis enjoys producing works using screen printing techniques. A technique that became famous especially through Andy Warhol. It seems as if the artist couple is living their very personal dream. Paul Powis and Sara Hayward are open to the unusual paths that art has in store for them. Just recently, a collaboration with a winery came about, who use Paul's art for the labels of their fine wines. This is probably where the secret behind their success lies. Paul Powis lives for art and creates art for life.
