Would you believe that the photo above was actually hand painted by Paul Roberts? I know, I had the same reaction (jaw dropping and everything). Paul Roberts grasp of his tools and craft has extended to the realm of ultra-realism. It’s amazing how one can take tools such as paint brushes and a simple canvas and create something so beautiful and real… It’s truly a phenomenon in itself.
Paul Roberts was born in Tiverton Devon in 1948. Brought up by artist parents in Wales. He studied at Newport, Cardiff and Goldsmiths colleges of Art. Gaining early recognition in the 1970’s his career as a painter was interrupted when he had worldwide success with th rockband Sniff’n’The Tears in 1978.Commitments to music meant that until 2000 time needed to develop his career as a painter was to some degree curtailed. In 1988 he moved with his family to Somerset, where he has continued to paint and make music. His work can currently be seen at the Plus One Gallery London.
