Arts & Culture
PAUL CADDEN took a break from drawing while working for a number of years as a 3D illustrator. After returning to work with more traditional media, he found the experience he had gained during this time contributed to refining his abilities in his craft of drawing.

Although the drawings and paintings he makes are based upon a series of photographs, video stills, etc, the art created from the photo is used to create a softer and much more complex focus on the subject depicted, presenting it as a living, tangible object. These objects and scenes in his drawings are meticulously detailed to create the illusion of a new reality, one not seen in the original photo to ‘intensify the normal’.

Paul is currently represented by Plus One Gallery and his paintings are currently held in private collections in Scotland, England, Italy and U.S.A.
