" For me art and music have always served as a form of escape, towards a freedom of sorts. I am expressing an inner state of being, a yearning for other worlds and realities, whether through painting, digital art, drawing or music composition and I am led by an exploratory drive to just see what happens if I do this or that..."

London based artist Paul Kingsley Squire...

In A Time Lapse | Oil on canvas | 92 x 122 cm | 2016

Supernature...

These abstract landscape paintings use thick layers of oil paint to create textures and depth. Paul is interested in how the medium of oil paint can be used to create effects and suggest forms within the painting itself.

They generate an otherworldly yet naturalistic image, leaving the subject open to interpretation. The intention is to create paintings using experimental techniques, producing work that is abstracted and expressionistic.

The rhythmic weaving of the brushstrokes creates energy and flow, enhancing the suggestion of a natural process producing swirling mists and organic forms.

Human Nature 5 | Pencil on 200gsm paper | 42 x 59.4 cm

Drawings...

...is an ongoing portfolio of pencil drawings exploring the interlinking relationship between natural landscapes and human forms and animals. 

In many cultures the power of nature has been symbolically represented and in this series Paul has used the female form and animal archetypes to convey this link with complex designs of woods and trees. 

He has continued this technique in a series of 'mystical' orb drawings.
