Work
Paine is a landscape painter. He divides his working practice between working directly outside in the landscape and within the studio. He paints predominately from drawings, completing large oil on canvas works in the studio. Although his paintings are widely recognised for their distinctive figuration, the themes and ideas behind the paintings remain conceptually abstract.
I do not set out to make a ‘picture’ of a tree, instead I want to explore the colour, line, shape and light of a tree. I like to remove myself from a subject in a visual sense and direct observation because when I live with a subject day after day, the ‘realness’ of the subject remains. I can take the abstract qualities as far as I like in any given subject, but if I maintain the ‘realness’ through re-drawing each time I am in front of it, the subconscious ‘real’ is always there.
Paine lectures at The National Gallery and The Art Academy, London.
