Paul Apps Fine Art

Growing demand for his work led Paul to turn professional in 1987. For many years he concentrated upon painting wildlife subjects within their unique habitats, carefully studying a diverse range of wildlife in order to truly convey the sense of light and atmosphere that each species required. This attention to detail, through repeated trips to Africa and the USA ,enabled Paul to build the knowledge needed to paint images of wildlife that are not only lifelike but which also capture the real character of the animal. As such, Paul’s paintings are highly desired by collectors with sell-out exhibitions around the world. Paul describes himself as impressionist realist, using colour and brush mark to convey mood, light, atmosphere and texture. He has never been one to attempt photorealism. “Great if you can achieve it,” he states, “but it leaves me cold. It’s clever and technically brilliant but, artistically speaking, has little to say.”
