Paul S Brown’s Gorgonzola Dolce with Vin Santo concludes the series with an atmospheric still life of quiet intimacy. The creamy Gorgonzola Dolce, nestled on crinkled paper, is painted with astonishing realism, capturing its blue-veined texture. A glass of Vin Santo glows amber against the darkened backdrop, its honeyed sweetness perfectly complementing the cheese’s mild piquancy. A ripe peach adds a final note of indulgence, showcasing Brown’s mastery in evoking the sensory allure of taste and texture through his exquisite oil painting technique.
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.
