Artist/Designer Research




Paul Holland

Intricately rendered images and obsessive detail are Mr Holland’s forte. With a striking linear style applying traditional drawing techniques alongside stark motifs. Often enriched digitally, introducing fanciful dimensions and elements of realism.
Influences lie within the worlds of ‘le freak et le chic’, fashion, music, celebrity and popular culture. Retaining an eye on trends past, present and future, his vivid style lends itself very well to a variety of commissions.
Paul has been a featured contributor in Attitude Magazine and has exhibited in Paris where he is now based. I like the use of drawing and collage within his work and how he incoporates elements of popular culture within his work. He has a bold use of colour and his work is incredibly appealing.
