Paul Holland
Striking traditional mark making techniques are Paris based illustrator Paul Holland’s forte. Whilst being executed with a blend of both wit and sensitivity, these are often enriched digitally, introducing fanciful dimensions and elements of realism. A fascination with popular culture and the juxtaposition of stark motifs alongside the familiar inspire this unique perspective. Influences lie within the worlds of fashion, subcultures, music and celebrity. Retaining an eye on trends past, present and future, his vivid style lends itself very well to a variety of commissions. Working methods consist of all key elements being conventionally hand drawn in pencil. These illustrations are then colour enhanced using Photoshop. Therefore generally non vector based.
