IN THE RESIDENCY June <strong>2014</strong> “My current work focuses heavily on shape, line, form, composition and colour” PAUL SENYOL South Africa thesenyol@gmail.com // www.senyol.blogspot.com Born 25 October 1980 in Cape Town, South Africa. I have been drawing and painting since my early high school years, however never pursuing any form of artistic or graphic training. At 16, I discovered the freedom of skateboarding and punk rock music in the beautiful suburb of Welgemoed, where I grew up. This naturally became a key influence in my early drawings, sketches and paintings. Skateboard graphics, album covers, magazine layouts and illustrations played a role in developing my aesthetic eye. Around the same time, I also became exposed to the creativity of graffiti and street artists such as Marc Gonzales, Ed Templeton, and Barry McGee - all of this forming part of my early ‘art education’. I was later introduced and moved by the creative thought and artistic genius of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Cy Twombly. My lack of formal training and schooling has given me the freedom to break away from traditional notions of painting, to explore genres and styles, and to meld mediums, allowing myself creative freedom to flow through my works. My art lingers gracefully and intentionally between beauty and honesty and brings a surreal, yet abstract world into being. My current work focuses heavily on shape, line, form, composition and colour. Each faint line. Bold brushstroke and shape carefully composed to breathe life into it’s environment, reflecting something of light, experience and thought. My finished work seeks to engage the viewer through translating my own experiences to canvas, allowing an open discussion and translation of the work. I have exhibited extensively throughout South Africa and abroad. I currently live and work from a studio in Woodstock, Cape Town.
NO MAN’S LAND During my stay at Arteles I set out to create a series of five artworks, each roughly the same size as each other. They form part of a year-long theme to my work, culminating in an exhibition with previous artist-in-residence Pierre le Riche (South Africa). We will be showing work from during our residency, as well as post residency at Salon91 Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa. During my time at the residency my paintings focused on explorations with color, compositions, linework, textures and new mediums. These artworks will also be shown at a group show at CircleCulture Gallery in Berlin during July.
