Tell us more about the show

As an artist I always thought that emotions, reactions, and feelings of humans were perhaps some of the most powerful ways of expression. There has been a constant struggle and battle inside me as an artist to create works of art that portrays these myriad emotions through various hues, mixes, textures, and patterns.

Painting for me has been a voyage of soul searching with a higher motive and a mightier goal in mind. Nothing will ever provide me the solace I look for unless it’s this journey of search – it’s a vast world and this is just a tiny fraction of my journey that I have been able to document and create through these paintings. I am humbled & delighted to showcase these 23 works of art that I call ‘Altered Surfaces – a journey of self-search’

We heard one of your artworks on display is also a book cover? 

I am proud to share the that my work ‘Redemption’ has become the book cover for a renowned Canada based Indian author/professor and is now available as an e-book on Amazon. The book’s hard copy will be out next month around the world. This painting used as the book cover will be also be on display during my exhibition at The Sublime Art Galleria, UB City.

So you heard it right here folks, if you’re in Bengaluru on October 7th, do give a visit to Andrew Paul’s exhibition. We can be sure that this young man is only beginning and yet his work has already caught the attention of ART collectors in India and abroad.
