Paul Telford's paintings explore a silent world. Handling oil paint
with delicate precision, Telford's still lifes evoke an intriguing
timelessness. In 'Still Life with Green Apples' he captures not only
the form of the glistening fruit but also an essence of something
more eternal. "It's not about the object" says Telford,"but
about other things: silence, stillness and emptiness".
An admirer of 17th century artists of Dutch interiors and in particular
Vermeer, together with 20th century artists Edward Hopper and Mark
Rothko, Telford mines a rich artistic tradition. A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, this young artist is making a name for himself. Telford is held in the collections of serious collectors in the UK and US.
