ARTIST WRITEUP – ‘Don’t forget to artfully Wonder & Wander!’ Paul is an Interior Architecture & design graduate from Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore and continued with assistance from National Arts Council scholarship to study Technical Theatre in Brisbane Australia. His passion for teaching has become a natural extension of his creativity. As an art and design educator, he has taught visual arts at the Singapore International School in Hong Kong and is currently an adjunct lecturer at Temasek Polytechnic’s school of design in Singapore. Other than teaching students, he also conducts regular urbansketching workshops for the art and geography school teachers in Singapore. Inspired by his theatre design training, his sketches are often bursting with dramatic colours. His strokes and splashes may look spontaneous but are highly choreographed. Paul’s distinctive style of vivid colours and convoluted details seeks to tell a story behind each sketch. On-location sketching has become his unique way of encapsulating the fast changing urban landscape here in Singapore and around the region. Paul is an Urban Sketchers’ correspondent for Singapore since 2010 and is currently serving as an advisory board-member for Urbansketchers organisation. SELECTION OF ARTWORK
