Paul Wright is a celebrated portrait and figurative artist known for his expressive brushwork, rich colour palette, and emotionally resonant compositions. Over the past 15 years, Paul has developed a distinctive painterly language — one that captures far more than surface likeness. His subjects are recognisable, yet elusive; their inner worlds hinted at, but never fully revealed.

Working often on a bold, large scale, Paul’s work retains an immediacy and fluency that draws the viewer in. His confident, gestural marks and layered tones suggest both motion and mood, giving each piece a visceral energy. The settings are often undefined, allowing the figure to become the focus — not just of form, but of feeling.

There’s a quiet tension in his paintings: a balance between intimacy and distance, realism and abstraction. Paul’s work asks us to pause, look deeper, and sit with the mystery of what lies beneath the surface — a glimpse, rather than a full reveal.
