 Paula Lundy is a professional contemporary artist living and working in the south west of England. After studying for seven years and experimenting for fifteen, with a vast array of painting styles and mediums, Paula has finally found her unparalleled personification of self expression. The ramification of which is an amalgamation of paint and sculpture on canvas.
When you gaze into a piece of art you are doing more than just looking at an individuals (the artist) perspective of reality, you are absorbing the emotional content of the art and merging your emotional state with that of the artist. You see on a very deep level, profound art has the power to transmit feelings, yes the same free flowing emotions of playfulness, irony and paradigm shifting states can and will be experienced by you as you continue to gaze. For art is a medium of emotional expression and as the saying goes “a picture paints a thousand words”.
Paula’s unique style comes from her passion for combining heavy texture with strong visual metallics. Her work stems from a love of sculpture and an ever expanding array of materials such as:
• Acrylics
• Lead
• silver
• Plaster
• Inks
• Clay
• Resins
• Metallic pigments
• Bitchemin
• Textured varnishes
• Rubber
• Sand
Truly unique in her art form, her work is not something that could ever be copied. Distinctive in appearance and textured form, her art has some very strange but compelling effects on its admirers; it actually compels the viewer to reach out and touch the piece! An amusing side effect of her highly recognizable style, yet even more of a testament to its power to transfix and absorb you.
Artists statement – October 2008 – Paula Lundy
As an artist living and working in the south west of England, I am inspired by the architecture of old and new, I am particularly fascinated with the way in which the aura of the moon illuminates the night and picks out the more interesting features of English architecture. The moon has now become a very prominent focal point in many of my paintings, I have always been intrigued by the folklore surrounding the moon. Ancient civilizations believed the moon to be made of silver and to be associated with dreams and the imagination, it is for this reason that I always use real silver to create the moons in my pictures. I often dream about the next scene I am going to paint, and as it is now scientifically proven that the moon affects our moods and creativity I wonder if it too has power to influence our dreams.
I love to work with texture, Combing heavy texture with strong visual metallics and experimenting with an ever expanding array of materials such as: acrylics, lead, silver, plaster, clay, inks, resins, glass, metallic pigments, bitumen, rubber and sand. The colours I use are the black, white and grey tones typical of a moonlit scene but with a twist of silver and pewter. I continue to use the same impasto style in all of my work.
During my teenage years I was intrigued by the occult and esoterics, the esoteric teaching that there is another world behind or underlying our physical world is an idea I can relate to while creating my art. Adding layer upon layer and then, in one moment, it all comes together to produce the image that was once in my imagination, now in physical reality.
