Paul Parker

Other artists currently exhibiting: Currently we have art hanging in our studio from Paul Parker.

Ten years ago Paul Parker acted on an impulse to paint. He entered his garage, fashioned a crude canvas and began to create. Thus grew a passion for painting and Paul Parker's life as a constant creator and observer of life's quirks and forms. With a natural capacity for creating cubist biomorphic shapes, Parker builds an energetic field of figuration. His
paintings are vibrant textures, alluding to land, water, sun, and tribal markings. His works thrive on the freedom of mark making. The brush strokes are immediate and exude the power of their application.

Always a self-taught painter, Parker takes inspiration from music, memory and raw emotion. Parker's optimistic stream-of-conscious thinking comes through in his images. Obvious is a constant exploration - a pursuing of mystery and creation, which engages his audience as well. Along with his explorative marks is a complex structure of color. His forms recreate landscape spaces with all the spatial sophistication of Picasso's Figures on the Beach. Paul Parker is an Australian, whose surroundings on both the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast appear an influence. In Australia, Paul Parker exhibits with several galleries and is preparing for his first major commission and his first exhibition in new york.
