Paul Thompson’s current work is based upon interventions and experiential journeys, generated through mixing and re-mixing from the motivation of the digital landscape. He’s represented by Danita Delimont and his art are held in private collections in Europe United Kingdom and the United States of America. His work has developed around the externalisation of creations formed through navigating and mapping using the concepts of maneuvering the real, and shifting between present, past, reality and memory. His digital process and products provide a cornerstone in his practice both practically and contextually. He has exhibited his art in several locations including Park Gallery Falkirk, Indelible Traces Members Edinburgh Printmakers, NEO Studio Gallery Bolton, Grays School of Art Degree Show, Camberwell College of the Arts, Colors Gallery Edinburgh, Staff Exhibition Forth Valley College, Vas Dundas St Edinburgh, Affordable Art Fair London, The Atholl Gallery Dunkeld, The and The Leith Gallery Edinburgh, Atholl Gallery Dunkeld, among others.
Thompson is at the nucleus of a personal artistic construct, based on mixing and remixing, which he says is not merely responsive to his environment but is rather generative. In his process and practice the surface plays a critical part in the product, going beyond being merely a ground or support either physical or digital. His art promotes the viewer’s engagement of his experience through proactive and passive engagements – inviting the viewer to join the experience and feel part of the art. They have found their way into many of the prestigious galleries, homes, institutions, and museums around the world.
