Paul Kingsley Squire…

…is a London based oil painter & draftsman whose portfolio includes ethereal, otherworldly abstracted landscapes, surreal figurative works imbued with symbolism and old master inspired fantasy paintings.

He is fascinated by themes of metamorphosis and transformation and in recent years he has developed several distinct series of works, that play with dualism and the esoteric, creating a fusion of futuristic subject matter with an aged aesthetic.

Across each medium, his artistic style retains a consistent ethereal quality, and boasts polish and thoughtfulness that allows ideas of psychology, nature and consciousness to be pondered by each viewer.


His original oil paintings, pencil drawings and prints are collected internationally.

Paul has also curated and organised the INCAHOOTS exhibitions and events - for more info go to the INCAHOOTS website.

"I am expressing an inner state of being, a yearning for other worlds and realities, driven by an exploratory drive.

It is through this innate curiosity that I have developed several methods and techniques for creating artwork in highly individualistic styles.

Themes that intrigue and fascinate me, include metamorphosis, transformation, esotericism and mythology, and how these subjects are relevant to contemporary life.

In recent years I have developed several distinct series of works, all of which utilise different painting methods as I am fascinated in the process that unfolds when using oils as a medium. I am drawn to the expansive expression of landscape, while simultaneously intrigued by the precision of figurative art.”
