Artist
Paul Painting
Paul Painting (b1974-) studied graphic design at the Technikon Witwatersrand (1993-95) Finding that commercial art satisfied little of his creative motives, Painting went on to balance his passion for traditional painting techniques with his fascination for filmmaking.
Though the two mediums are discrete in his production, there remains an undeniable exchange of ideas between them. His preoccupations centre on the self; expressed through a syntax of deeply personalized symbols and ambiguous constructions while remaining figurative in nature.
He has held a number of successful solo exhibitions and participated widely in group shows around the country. Lately, he has explored the materials of ceramics and worked towards integrating the sculptural and the pictorial.
