Next on Claymoor Interviews : Paul Wright - Contemporary Artist

My 2013 second interview will have contemporary Artist  Paul Wright as a guest. Darryl McCarthy, Art Journalist & Critic believes that "Paul Wright has occasionally shifted his focus from the face to look to explore the qualities that can be found in a person’s clothes, in particular shoes and boots. The way he captures the creases of a well-worn pair of brogues, or the folds and stains on a pair of the artist’s overalls again leads the viewer into the private world of the wearer. In the studio, this aspect of his work is reflected in discarded jeans and  odd shoes scattered rather comfortingly, as if in a student bedsit."  His original style is based on a "masterful technique: bold, thick strokes are applied with confidence and economy, using a rich palette and creating a wonderful texture"
