Paul Christopher Flynn; A New Direction
Paul Christopher Flynn is an Irish artist whose work has been described as ‘contemplative’, ‘enigmatic’ and ‘inspirational’. His work has attracted the attention of critics such as Professor Amanda Croft, of Queen’s University, Belfast who wrote that the artist’s work is “evocative of elemental forces” and that a recent collection of landscape paintings fulfils this communicative role perfectly.”
“I intend my paintings to invoke rather than to explain. I try to create a visual and emotional space in a painting in which both eye and mind may roam. I believe that my function as an artist is to encourage viewers to participate in the creative process, to explore and complete the paintings for themselves.”
