Paul Windridge

Painting, moving image, music making, writing and photography

After graduating from Art College in 1970, and until 1990, I was a full-time freelance artist who had several solo exhibitions and sold paintings worldwide. After a period of working in digital arts I have returned to painting and have been working on four new series of paintings - “Interactions” portraits based on comic book characters interacting with ‘real life’ people. “Apollo 11 Launch” observing the people watching the launch of Apollo 11 which made the first moon landing in 1969. “The Marilyns” three large oil portraits of Marilyn Monroe. And the current series “The Secret Life of the Fox” taken from my own photos.

One-man exhibitions include:

The Royal Exchange, Manchester

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic

Studio 17, Mayfair, London

The Barbican Centre, London

The Mermaid Theatre, London

Video artist 

My moving image work distorts reality and alters time and space through atmospheric layer combinations, symmetrical illusions and abstraction.
