From modern surrealism to photo-realism, Paul prides himself on being able to work in any style and

any medium. Environmental issues, iconic heroes and human suffering are subjects which often

feature in his art. Still life, animals and portraits are frequently interpreted with his own humour.

Inspired by famous personalities whose imagery, persona or music has survived, often against the

odds, his collection captures the first modern fashion icon of Audrey Hepburn, the dark fascination of

the Kray Twins, the enigmatic stare of David’s Eye and the eternal survivor Keith Richards.

Former assistant to renowned Pop Artist Andy Warhol, Steve Kaufman...aka SAK...is considered one

of the most important and talked-about Pop artists of our time. He had his first one-man show at the

age of 8, received a scholarship to The Parson’s School of Design at age 14, and by age 16,

participated in his first group show at the Whitney Museum in New York. Kaufman’s first one-man show

was at a bank in the Bronx. The paintings were donated to the Jewish Holocaust Museum of Art in

Brooklyn. In 1972, Kaufman was chosen along with nine other students from NYC to participate in a

cultural exchange between Japan and the U.S., and was soon awarded a scholarship at Parson’s

School of Design for fine art and design.
