Signed P Brown (lower right)
Paul S. Brown perfectly captures the essence of rustic French cuisine with exquisite hyperrealism in his still life painting, La Casse Croute. Every detail — from the aged bottle of wine and ripened grapes to the crusty baguette and creamy cheese — is rendered with meticulous precision. Brown's exceptional use of light and texture breathes life into the composition, evoking the warmth of traditional French country living. This classical artwork showcases Brown's dedication to 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.
