Paul Brown’s Château Figeac aligns with the great traditions of still life painting while asserting a distinctly contemporary sensibility. Château Figeac is one of the most prestigious wine estates in Bordeaux, renowned for its rich history and exceptional wines. Situated in the Saint-Émilion appellation, it has a distinctive terroir that sets it apart— with a lineage dating back to the 2nd century and a reputation for producing complex, refined vintages. Rendered in oil with meticulous precision, Brown celebrates the famed wine, balancing texture and light in the composition of the painting to create a tableau of quiet indulgence.
A true Classical Realist, Paul’s focus is on universal beauty. He upholds rigorous standards in pursuit of this, working from life, emulating the techniques and materials of the old masters, painting on linen canvas, preparing his own paints by hand, and carefully selecting pigments and oils to his precise requirements.
Paul was apprenticed to D. Jeffrey Mims, before honing his talents at the Cecil-Graves Studio in Florence, where his talent as an exquisite draftsman was instantly recognised. Paul went on to teach at the prestigious Florence Academy of Art, renowned for its commitment to the academic tradition.
Paul’s keen passion for nature is felt throughout his work and the influence of his upbringing, a Huckleberry Finn childhood spent roaming the outdoors in North Carolina and studying the world around him, can be seen in every brushstroke. His perfectly composed works are rich with atmosphere and detail.
