As a
fluent ‘plein air’ painter, Paul Lewin’s work has developed in response to the
characteristic coastal fringes of the West Cornwall peninsula where he lives and
works. In exploring its rugged coastlines and wild interiors of moorland and
valleys, his works evoke a strong sense of atmosphere, through a painterly sensitivity
to the changing light and weather conditions.
Paul Lewin was born in Manchester in 1967. He studied at Stockport College and went on to complete a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art at Bristol Polytechnic in 1989. He has since lived and worked in the South Wes, and is now based in West Penwith. His paintings can be found in collections throughout the UK, Germany, Mexico, USA, Australia and the Far East.
