Paul Crichton has delved deep into his creative cavern over the last few months and released what can only be experienced, as one stands in front of his large scale canvases that sing the heart of the land, sea and sky country that he translates so emotively through his intuitive brushstroke. 

Paul’s paintings continue to reflect his love of the ocean in her ever-changing moods, with Tasmania’s wild rocky foreshores and gentle bays continuing to captivate and inspire him.

His favourite painting teacher at Hobart Art School in the late 60’s and early 70’s was
Patricia Giles, her watercolours and those of her close painting buddy Max Angus
continue to influence and stimulate his exploration into the unique light-touched Tasmanian landscape. 

This year Paul has shifted his practice into translating more ethereal moods, revealed in those rare moments, where the unseen, the unspeakable, makes a brief appearance to our eyes, and we are not sure what it is we have seen.
