Paul says about his painting:

These paintings are rooted in real places and real memories. It’s not really about nostalgia, as much as intensity, evoking the essence of that place and the feeling of that time. And in that sense, they could be anywhere and everywhere.

You’re continually trying to get to the essence of something. You never quite get there, but I’m really excited about this show, and I think it touched on a lot of things in a more sophisticated way than I’ve done before.

A lot of my titles, there’s a kind of contradiction going on. It’s about discipline, and it’s about freedom. So it’s that notion of having to have a bit of both all the time.

All the work’s pretty much about trying to figure out, you know, like, what it is to be alive right now. It’s definitely a form of meditation. If you do it well, you get to a point where you literally lose all sense of time and space.

The work has an afterlife, as it were. So it’s not, they’re not pinned down. Hopefully, there’s enough room within the work to breathe and to allow it to exist in time. So the meaning can change sometimes.
