Paul Corfield...Artist
Paul Corfield was born in Bournemouth, Dorset on the 25th March 1970 and has lived within 10 miles of his birthplace all his life. Paul Corfield could not remember exactly when it was, but Paul knew he was very young when he first started learning to draw. Detail was always Paul's thing; if Paul's drawing didn't look like the object or scene he was looking at then Paul would find it a most infuriating experience. In Paul Corfield's recent work he has finally escaped those shackles and it's been a very enjoyable and liberating experience for him; it's only now Paul finally feels like the artist he had always wanted to become. The journey here has been an up and down one for Paul Corfield and at times a real struggle.
After Paul Corfield left school he applied to art college and was accepted, but in the end Paul had to turn it down and that's where his art career ended for the time being. Paul Corfield would have been training to be a technical illustrator, but with hindsight Paul thought it was good that he didn't pursue that style of painting as within a few years computers would have taken over and producing technical illustrations manually wouldn't have been in demand.
After leaving work Paul Corfield's passion for realism took over and Paul's works for the next 3 years were highly detailed. If they were to be categorised then it would likely be contemporary realism or photorealism. Paul Corfield was successful in that style and was represented in both London and America. In Paul's spare time though he was developing an idea that has evolved into the landscapes that you see now. Paul Corfield toyed around with the idea for well over a year but it kept being put on the back burner.
It however always niggled away at the back of Paul's mind, that he just knew there was something in it. So one day Paul Corfield sent off his ideas to Washington Green and they saw something in them too. That was it, Paul Corfield was released, now Paul could paint real brush strokes instead of hiding them, Paul had the freedom to create; He could drift off into another world instead of living in a world of realism. So, now you see how Paul Corfield got here, there's so much more to come.
