Contemporary artist Paul James

A leading contemporary animal and landscape realist painter renowned for the skill and craftsmanship with which he depicts the fine detail and realism of the many textures portrayed within his imagery.

He is an exceptionally gifted and unique animal and landscape artist.

 

Essentially self-taught, Paul began painting professionally in 1986 and it was the haunting beauty of Charnwood forest that greatly influenced his early atmospheric landscape, together with his animal portraiture for which he has perfected a style of his own.

The originality of his compositions along with the attention to detail means that his works take time. Paul dedicates himself to each piece with a passion rarely seen in today’s commercial art world, insisting on the freedom to paint the subjects he chooses which allows him creative flexibility, and it’s this freedom that keeps his work fresh and current.
