Paul Compton

Paul Compton’s drawings, woodcuts and collages are known for their depictions of ghostly apparitions, odd and cosmic beasts, subliminal spaces and playfully conjured portraits. Paul’s inspirations range from automatic drawing and writing, Victorian-era spiritualism, occult and magic rituals, animals, raw art, cultural oddities and religious iconography through to the visual textures of fur, wood and fabric. The conflicting forces of black and white physical and spiritual intertwine.
