Paul Brown
Paul S Brown has lived in the UK since 1994. In his Battersea studio in London he hand makes his oil paints with carefully selected pigments and oils, uses old master techniques and mediums and works from life in the naturalist tradition. He enjoys painting all subjects, concentrating on the nude and still life as well as portraits and landscapes.
Paul was born in 1967 and raised in North Carolina. At the age of ten he received classical drawing lessons from painter D. Jeffrey Mims with whom he would return to during university studies for an extensive apprenticeship on several large mural projects that lasted two years. In 1988 he journeyed to Florence, Italy for 2 years training at Studio Cecil-Graves under the tutelage of Charles Cecil and Daniel Graves. Continuing his education he went to England where he studied in museums and travelled around Europe returning to Italy six months later to help Daniel Graves open the Florence Academy of Art. After painting and teaching at the academy for two years he returned to North Carolina in 1992. There he set up a studio where he continued to paint as well as teach a select number of students. That summer he assisted D. Jeffrey Mims in teaching a workshop on plein air figure and portrait painting. He had a series of one-man shows in North Carolina and Hollis Taggart Galleries in Washington D.C. He has exhibited with teachers and peers in Florence Academy Alumni exhibitions in London, England, The Italian Institute in San Francisco, California and the Appleton Museum of Art in Ocala, Florida as well as in numerous solo and group shows in the US and Europe.
In London he has exhibited in the BP Portrait Award in the National Portrait Gallery, with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters at the Mall Galleries and had an exhibition of figure drawings at the Groucho Club in Soho. In 2003 Paul took part in “Realism Revisited”, an exhibition of former teachers at the Florence Academy of Art that was held at the Panorama Museum in Bad Frankenhausen, Germany, Hirschl and Adler Galleries in New York City and Century Gallery in Washington DC. In 2005 he had a one man show at WH Patterson Fine Arts Limited where he has been represented in London since 1995. Paul’s pictures hang in public and private collections throughout the US and Europe.
