Repousse work is the creation of 3 dimensional shapes out of a single piece of sheet metal by the use of traditional embossing and chasing techniques has been made in various forms for thousands of years from jewellery to tableware, decorating suits of armour to pictures. This skill has almost died out now usually only practiced by a few Silversmiths and Jewellers.
Paul Pennell like his late Father is a life long traditional panelbeater who has made one off handmade bodies in steel and aluminium for some of the Worlds' finest Cars. Paul has now adapted his technique to make large scale repousse pictures in aluminium and is unique in the Art world. All Paul's pictures are made entirely by hand using only basic hand tools and a leather sandbag and much as it is not possible to get as much finite detail in as in a painting due to the gauge of the metal, the stunning reflections and light on the 3 dimensional shapes really capture the essence of the subject and portray the shapes in a way that a normal painting cannot.
Since Paul started in 2009 he has exhibited at a number of major shows including the famous Goodwood Motoring Events where he has sold his pictures to some of the Worlds' top Car Collectors from all over the World including America and Switzerland and South Africa he has also sold pictures to a number of major PLC's for display at their Headquarters and was recently invited by Mercedes Trucks to display his work on their stand at the annual Truckfest event at Peterborough. Much as Paul is best known for his Car Pictures he has recently started creating a wide range of work from Horses to bold Abstracts and these are already attracting considerable interest.Artgallery rating
