3. Paul Karslake Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts
Self-confessed modern surrealist, award-winning artist and
brother-in-law of Ronnie Wood, Paul Karslake can never be said to
conform to the preconception of an artist struggling for
inspiration and full of self-doubt, but instead brims with
inspiration and enthusiasm. His studio is a realm of colourful
works of art from many disciplines, which are indicative of the
scope of talent, this one-man exudes. In 1990 Paul had the honour
of being elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.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 Davids Eye and the eternal survivor Keith
Richards.Pauls original painting of Keith Richards commissioned by
Keiths wife in 1998, was seen by Johnny Depp at Keiths home and
quoted as the inspiration behind his Pirates of the Caribbeans
character, Captain Jack Sparrow.
