Tiger, 34"x73", oil on canvasPaul S. Brown 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. In 1988 he journeyed to Florence, Italy for 2 years training at Studio Cecil-Graves under the tutelage of Charles Cecil and Daniel Graves. He would later help Daniel Graves open the Florence Academy of Art and teach there for two years before returning to North Carolina in 1992. There Paul set up a studio where he continued to paint as well as teach a select number of students in plein air figure and portrait painting. He has had a series of one-man shows in North Carolina and at Hollis Taggart Galleries in Washington D.C. Paul 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.
Living in the UK since 1994, Paul works in his Battersea studio in London, hand making his oil paints with carefully selected pigments and oils, using old master techniques and mediums and working from life in the naturalist tradition. He enjoys painting all subjects, concentrating on the nude and still life as well as portraits and landscapes. In London, Paul 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 he 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 world.
