The Rainbow Collection

About

Project Ability is pleased to present a solo show of new abstract paintings by ReConnect artist Paul Dowden. Showcasing in our Gallery Two, this collection of work is highly experimental.

There is magic in these paintings - there are days in the studio when it is as fitting to refer to Paul as an alchemist as it is an artist.  Although forth coming with explaining process and technique, at first inspection it is a wonder how Dowden creates these reactive explosions of colour. The paint is clearly responding to the different mediums and oils it is combined with directly on the surface of the work. Paul finishes a painting by giving it the highest reflective qualities possible through polishing and varnishing.

The techniques Dowden has perfected come about from years of painting practice and experimentation with materials. Colours and organic forms play off each other in an infinite number of arrangements, each focusing entirely on colour, technique and arrangement.

We are delighted to exhibit this selection of Dowden’s newest abstract paintings, descriptively titled ‘The Rainbow Collection’.
